The Tragedy of
At last, when as our quire wants breath,
our bodies being blest,
We'll sing like Swans, to welcome death,
and die in love and rest.
1.Mad-man.
Doomes-day not come yet! I'll draw it neerer by a perspective, or make a glasse, that shall set all the world on fire upon an instant: I cannot sleepe, my pillow is stuff't with a littour of Porcupines.
2.Mad.
Hell is a meere glasse-house, where the divells are continually blowing up womens soules, on hollow yrons, and the fire never goes out.
3.Mad.

4.Mad.

2.
No, no, no, a snufling knave, that while he shewes the
Tombes, will have his hand in a wenches placket.
3.
Woe, to the Caroach, that brought home my wife from
The Masque, at three a clocke in the morning, it had a large
Feather-bed in it.
4.

In Ravens egges, and cur'd agues with them.
