    Englishmen For My Money (Quarto 1, 1616)

    A Woman will haue her will.
    Spirite do leade vs.
    Frisc. You say true sir, for I am afeard your French spirit
    1665is vp so far alredy, that you brought me this way, because
    you would finde a Charme for it at the Blew Bore in the
    Spittle: But soft, who comes heere?

    Enter a Belman.
    Bel. Maydes in your Smocks, looke wel to your Locks,
    1670Your Fier and your Light; and God giue you good night.
    Delia. Mon sieur Gentle-home, I prey parle one, too,
    tree, fore, words vore vs to dis oull man.
    Frisc. Yes marry shall I sir. I pray hone st Fellow, in
    what Streete be wee?
    1675 Bel. Ho Frisco, whither friske you at this time of night?
    Delio. What, Mon sieur Frisco?
    Alua. Signor Frisco?
    Frisc. The same, the same: Harke yee hone sty, mee
    thinkes you might doe well to haue an M. vnder your
    1680Girdle, con sidering how Signor Pisaro, and this other
    Mon sieur doe hold of mee.
    Bell. Oh sir, I cry you mercie; pardon this fault, and Ile
    doe as much for you the next time.
    Frisc. Well, passing ouer superfluicall talke, I pray what
    1685Street is this; for it is so darke, I know not where I am?
    Bell. Why art thou druncke, Do st thou not know
    Fanchurch- streete?
    Frisc. I sir, a good Fellow may sometimes be ouerseene
    among Friends; I was drinking with my Mai ster and
    1690these Gentlemen, and therefore no maruaile though I be
    none of the wise st at this present: But I pray thee Good-
    man Buttericke, bring mee to my Mai sters House.
    Bel. Why I will, I will, pu sh that you are so strange now
    adayes: but it is an old said saw, Honors change Manners.
    1695 Frisc. Good-man Buttericke will you walke afore:
    Come hone st Friends, will yee goe to our House?
    Delio.
