That I broke custome, that I flagd in money.
No, those thy iewels, I will play as freely,
As when my state was fullest.

And neuer touch the sheetes that couer thee,
But be diuorst in bed, till thou consent,
Thy dowry shall be solde to giue new life
Vnto those pleasures which I most affect

And what the law shall giue me leaue to do,
You shall command.

Hu. Looke it be done, shall I want dus,
And like a slaue weare nothing in my pockets
Hols his hands in his Pockets.
But my hands to fill them vp with nayles?
Oh much against my blood, let it be done,
I was neuer made to be a looker on:
A baud to dice; Ile shake the drabs my selfe,
And make em yeeld, I say looke it be done.

Exit.Wi. I take my leaue it shal.

Hu. Speedily, speedily, I hate the very houre I chose
a Wife, a trouble, trouble, three children like three
euils hang vpon me, fie, fie, fie, strumpet and bastards,
strum­pet and bastards.
