A Yorkshire Tragedy.

Deserue to be well beaten; wee are now in priuate,
Ther's none but thou and I, thou art fond & peeuish,
An vncleane ryoter, thy landes and credite
Lie now both sicke of a consumption,
I am sorry for thee; that man spends with shame,
That with his ritches does consume his name,
And such art thou.

Hus. Peace.

Gent. No thou shalt heare me further.
Thy fathers and fore-fathers worthy honors,
Which were our country monuments, our grace,
Follies in thee begin now to deface,
The spring time of thy youth did fairely promise
such a most fruitfull summer to thy friends
It scarce can enter into mens beleefes,
Such dearth should hang on thee, we that see it,
Are sorry to beleeue it: in thy change,
This voice into all places will be hurld:
thou and the diuell has deceiu'd the world.

Hus. Ile not endure thee.

Gent. But of all the worst,
Thy vertuous wife right honourably allied,
Thou hast proclaimd a strumpet.

Hus. Nay then I know thee,
Thou art her Champion thou, her private friend,
The party you wot on.

Gent. Oh ignoble thought,
I am past my patient blood, shall I stand idle
and see my reputation toucht to death.

Hu. This has galde you this, has it?

Gent.
