A pleasant Comedie of the two
 
Mall. Do you heare mother, would you stay frō pleasure
When ye haue minde to it? go to, there's no wrong
Like this, to let maides lye alone so long
Lying alone they muse but in their beds,
How they might loose their long kept maiden heads,

For women that are wise, will not lead Apes

Call her againe and thou were better no.

Phil. O my deare more haue some patience,

Mis. Bar. I sir, haue patience, and see your father
To rifle vp the treasure of my loue,
And play the spend-thrift vpon such an harlot?
This same will make me haue patience, will it not?

Phili. This same is womens most impatience,
Yet mother I haue often heard ye say,
That you haue found my father temperate,
And euer free from such affections.

Mi. Bar. I, till my too much loue did glut his thoughts,
