⁂

BIrdlime. […] Taylor, if this Gentlewomans Husband should chaunce to bee in the way now, you shall tell him that I keepe a Hot-house in Gunpowder Ally (neere crouched Fryers) and that I haue brought home his wiues foule Linnen, […]

⁂

Iusti. […] Let a man loue Oisters for their water, for women though they shoulde weepe licour enough to serue a Dyer, or a Brewer, yet they may bee as stale as Wenches, that trauaile euery second tyde betweene Graues ende, and Billingsgate.

⁂

Iust. Why looke you, I am wonderous merry, can any man discerne by my face, that I am a Cuckold? I haue known many suspected for men of this misfortune; when they haue walkt thorow the streetes, weare their hats ore their eye-browes, like pollitick penthouses, which commonly make the shop of a Mercer, or a Linnen Draper, as dark as a roome in Bedlam. […]

⁂

Tent. Yea sooth, I was offred forty yesterday vpon the Exchange, to assure a hundred.

⁂

Moll.1 Go into Bucklers-bury and fetch me two ounces of preserued Melounes, looke there be no Tobacco taken in the shoppe when he weighes it.

⁂

Hony. Why as stale as a Country Ostes, an Exchange Sempster, or a Court Landresse.

⁂

Hony. Thanks good maister Parenthesis:2 and Que nouelles: what newes flutters abroad? doe Iack-dawes dung the top of Paules Steeple still.

Iusti. The more is the pitty, if any dawes do come into the temple, as I feare they do.

Hony. They say Charing-crosse is falue downe, since I went to Rochell: but thats no such wonder, twas old, and stood awry (as most part of the world can tel.) And tho it lack vnder-propping,

yet (like great fellowes at a wrastling) when their heeles are once flying vppe, no man will saue em; downe they fall, and there let them lye, tho they were bigger then the Guard: Charing-crosse was olde, and olde thinges must shrinke aswell as new Northern cloth.

Iust. Your worship is in the right way verily: they must so, but a number of better things between Westminster bridge and temple barre both of a worshipfull, and honorable erection, are falne to decay, and haue suffred putrifaction, since Charing fell, that were not of halfe so long standing as the poore wry-neckt Monument.

⁂

Hony. To the Custome-house: to the Change, to my VVarehouse, to diuers places.

⁂

Iust. Marry because the Suburbes, and those without the bars, haue more priuiledge then they within the freedome: what need one woman do ate vpon one Man? Or one man be mad like Orlando for one woman.

Iud. Troth tis true, considering how much flesh is in euery Shambles. Iust. Why should I long to eate of Bakers bread onely, when theres so much Sifting, and bolting, and grynding in euery corner of the Citty; men and women are borne, and come running into the world faster then Coaches doe into Cheap-side vppon Symon and Iudes day:3 and are eaten vp by Death faster, then Mutton and porridge in a terme time. […]

⁂

Iust. He tooke vp Silkes vppon his bond I confesse: nay more, hees a knight in print: but let his knight-hood be of what stamp it will, from him come I, to intreate you, and Mistris Wafer, and mistris Tenterhook, being both my schollers, and your honest pew fellowes, to meet him this afternoon at the Rhenesh-wine-house ith Stillyard. Captaine Whirlepoole will be there, young Lynstock the Alder-mans Son and Heire, there too, will you steale forth, & tast of a Dutch Bun, and a Keg of Sturgeon.

Iud. What excuse shall I coyne now?

Iust. Few excuses: You must to the pawne to buy Lawne: to Saint Martins for Lace; to the Garden: to the Glasse-house; to your Gossips:4 to the Powlters: else take out an old ruffe, and go to your Sempsters: excuses? Why, they are more ripe then medlers at Christmas.

Iud. Ile come. The hower.

Iust. Two: the way-through Paules: euery wench take a piller, there clap on your Maskes: your men will bee behind you, and before your prayers be halfe don, be before you, & man you out at seuerall doores. Youle be there?

⁂

Bird. Did she vouchsafe to take them, thers a question: you shall find she did vouchsafe: The troath is my Lord, I gotte her to my house, there she put off her own cloths my Lord and put on yours my Lord, prouided her a Coach, Searcht the middle Ile in Pawles, and with three Elizabeth twelue-pences prest three knaues my L. hirde three Liueries in Long-lane, to man her: for al which so God mend me, I’me to paie this night before Sun-set.

⁂

Bird. […]

[…] the Lob has his Lasse, the Collier his Dowdy, the Westerne-man his Pug, the Seruing-man his Punke, the student his Nun in white Fryers, the Puritan his Sister, and the Lord his Lady: which worshipfull vocation may fall vppon you, if youle but strike whilest the Iron is hot.

⁂

[…] Mo. Gods so, dost heare, I’me to sup this night at the Lyon in Shoredich with certen gallants: cāst thou not draw forth some dilicate face, that I ha not seene, and bring it thither, wut thou?

⁂

Lyn. Welcome to the Stilliard faire Ladies.

⁂

Goz. What say you to Black-wall, or Lime-house?

Iud. Euery roome there smels to much of Tar.

Lynst. Lets to mine host Dogbolts at Brainford then, there you are out of eyes, out of eares, priuate roomes, sweet Lynnen, winking attendance, and what cheere you will?

⁂

Par. Where will you meet ith morning?

Goz. At some Tauerne neare the water-side, thats priuate.

Par. The Grey-hound, the Greyhound in Black-fryers, an excellent Randeuous. Lin. Content the Greyhound by eight?

Par. And then you may whip forth two first, and two next, on a sudden, and take Boate at Bridewell Dock most priuately.

⁂

[…] Clar. At the Lyon in Shoredich? And would he not read it? nor write to me? Ile poyson his Supper?

⁂

Mist. Te. Hees in town: this night he sups at the Lyon in Shoaredich, good husband enter your action, and make hast to the Lyon presently, theres an honest fellow (Sergeant Ambush) will doe it in a trice, he neuer salutes a man in Curtesie, but he catches him as if he would arrest him. Good hart let Seriant Ambushly in waite for him.

Tent. Well at thy entreaty I will doe it. Giue me my Cloake

there, buy a linck and meet me at the Counter in Woodstreete; busse me Moll.

⁂

Mono. […] I would make them scud so fast from me, that they should think it a shorter way betweene this and Ludgate, then a condemned Cutpurse thinkes it between Newgate and Tyburne.

⁂

[…] Whirl. […] I haue risen, and departed thence as hungry, as euer came Countrey Atturny from Westminster? […]

⁂

Mono. Catchpole do you see, I will haue the haire of your head and beard shaued off for this, and eare I catch you at Grayes Inne by this light law.

⁂

Iust. […] Euery one that mette him cried, ware the Goose Collier, and from that day to this, thers a record to be seene at Croiden, howe that pittifull waftage which in deede was vertue in the Collier, that all that time would carry no Coales, laid this Imputation on all the posterity.

⁂

Mist Waf. Run into Bucklers burry for two ounces of Draggon water, soe Sperma and Treakle. What is it sicke of Coliar? a burning Feauer?

⁂

Mist waf. By this light but you shal not, you shal not hit me i’th teeth that I was your hindrance, wil you to Bucklers burry sir?

⁂

Iust. In Blacke-Friers, there take VVater, keepe a loofe from the shore, on with your Masks, vp with your sails, and West-ward Hoe

⁂

[…] Luce. […] some puny Inn-a-court-men, Ile hold my contribution.

⁂

Luce. […] O your are George the drawer at the Miter,5 […]

⁂

Luce. A pox on the Tearme, and now I thinke ont, saies a gentleman last night let the pox be in the Towne seauen yeare, Westminster neuer breeds Cob-webs, […]

⁂

[…] Bird. Company? Shall I say to your good worship and not lie, she hath had no company (let me see how long it was since your Wor. was heare) you wēt to a Butchers feast at Cuckolds-hauen the next day after Saint Lukes day.6 Not this fortnight, in good truth.

⁂

Bird. One that put me into pittifull feare, master Iustiniano here hath laied lurking like a sheep-biter, and in my knowledge hath drawne these gentlewomen to this misfortune: but Ile downe to Queene-hiue, and the Watermen which were wont to carrie you to Lambeth Marsh, shall carry mee thither: It may bee I may come before them; I thinke I shal pray more, what for seare of the water, and for my good successe then I did this tweluemonth.

⁂

Par. To me vpon mine honestie, swore you would build me a lodging by the Thames side with a watergate to it: or els take mee a lodging in Cole-harbor.

⁂

Cla. […] one that hadde bespoke me of my husband to help me into the banqueting house and see the reuelling: […]

⁂

Par. […] this last Christmas a Cittizen and his wife (as it might be one of you) were inuited to the Reuells one night at one of the Innes a Court: […]

⁂

Cla. […] I warrant they walk vpō Queen-hiue (as Leander did for Hero) to watch for our landing, and should we wrong such kind hearts? […]

⁂

Par. Thy Coat is an ancient Coat, one of the seauen deadly sinnes, put thy coat first to making; but do you heare, you mother of Iniquity, you that can loose and find your eares when you list go, saile with the rest of your baudie-traffikers to the place of sixe-penny Sinfulnesse the subvrbes.

Bird. I scorne the Sinfulnesse of any subvrbes in Christendom tis wel knowne I haue vp-rizers and downe-lyers within the Citty, night by night, like a prophane fellow as thou art.

⁂

Notes

In Webster’s parts of Westward Ho!, Tenterhook’s wife is referred to as Moll whereas in Dekker’s parts of the play, she is referred to as Clare. Since Webster and Dekker collaborated on the play, Halsall suggests that the authors did not do a careful reading of what had already been written when they met again after writing the first two acts (Halsall 67). Later in the play when Justiniano refers to his own wife as Moll, Halsall argues that Dekker, sure in his own mind of the names of the three citizens’ wives also had the name Moll in his mind and assumed it was the name Webster had given to Iustiniano’s wife, thinking Webster to be as clear about the other women’s names as himself; and he used it for Iustiniano since he had not given her a name himself (Halsall 67).
