angry women of Abington.
Especially of women, but tis so,
They shall be pleasd whether they will or no,
Which will come first? what both giue back, ha, neither?
Why then yond may helpe that come both together,
So stand still, stand but a little while,
And see how I your angers will beguile,
Well yet there is no hurt, why then let me,
Ioyne these two hands, and see how theil agree,
Peace, peace, they crie, looke how they friendly kisse,
Well all this while there is no harme in this,
Are not these two twins? twins should be both alike,

Iesus these warriours will not offer blowes,
Why then tis strange that you two should be foes,
O yes, youle say your weapons are your tongnes,
Touch lip with lip and they are bound from wrongs,
Go to, imbrace, and say if you be friends,
That heere the angrie womens quarrels ends,
They shall be pleasd whether they will or no,
Which will come first? what both giue back, ha, neither?
Why then yond may helpe that come both together,
So stand still, stand but a little while,
