THE CONVERTED
1095As many by one harlot, maym'd and dismembred,
1097Apply to you, and perhaps doe you right:
1099Your body is ee'ne hirde, and so are theirs.
1100For gold and sparkling iewels, (if he can)
1101Youle let a Iewe get you with christian:
1102Be he a Moore, a Tartar, tho his face
1103Looke vglier then a dead mans scull,
1104Could the diuel put on a humane shape,
1106Whores will be rid to hell with golden bits:
1107So that y'are crueller then Turkes, for they
1109Why those that loue you, hate you: and will terme you
1115Bell. O me vnhappy!
1116Hip. I can vexe you more;
1117A harlot is like Dunkirke, true to none,
1119Blacke-doord Italian, last of all the French,
1120And he sticks to you faith: giues you your diet,
1122And then you know what followes.
1125Hip. Me thinks a toad is happier then a whore,
1130You put on rich attires, others eyes weare them,
