ues go with him,
Let's talk of something else: what news is stirring?
Nothing to pass the time?

_Mil_.

'Faith it is said
That the next Summer will determine much
Of that we long have talk'd of, touching the Wars.

_Lean_.

What have we to do with them? Let us discourse
Of what concerns our selves. 'Tis now in fashion
To have your Gallants set down in a Tavern,
What the Arch-Dukes purpose is the next spring, and what
Defence my Lords (the States) prepare: what course
The Emperour takes against the encroaching Turk,
And whether his Moony-standards are design'd
For _Persia_ or _Polonia_: and all this
The wiser sort of State-Worms seem to know
Better than their own affairs: this is discourse
Fit for the Council it concerns; we are young,
And if that I might give the Theme, 'twere better
To talk of handsome Women.

_Mil_.

And that's one,
Almost as general.

_Ars_.

Yet none agree
Who are the fairest.

_Lean_.

Some prefer the _French_,
For their conceited Dressings: some the plump
_Italian Bona-Robas_, some the State
That ours observe; and I have heard one swear,
(A merry friend of mine) that once in _London_,
He did enjoy the company of a Gamester,
(A common Gamester too) that in one night
Met him th' _Italian, French_, and _Spanish_ wayes,
And ended in the _Dutch_; for to cool her self,
She kiss'd him drunk in the morning.

_Fam_.

We may spare
The travel of our tongues in forraign Nations,
When in _Corduba_, if you dare give credit
To my report (for I have seen her, Gallants)
There lives a Woman (of a mean birth too,
And meanly match'd) whose all-excelling Form
Disdains comparison with any She
That puts in for a fair one, and though you borrow
From every Country of the Earth the best
Of those perfections, which the Climat yields
To help to make her up, if put in Ballance,
This will weigh down the Scale.

_Lean_.

You talk of wonders.

_Jam_.

She is indeed a wonder, and so kept,
And, as the world deserv'd not to behold
What curious Nature made without a pattern,
Whose Copy she hath lost too, she's shut up,
Sequestred from the world.

_Lean_.

Who is the owner
Of such a Jem? I am
