Fal.

Not so (my Lord) your ill Angell is light: but I

hope, he that lookes vpon mee, will take mee without,

weighing: and yet, in some respects I grant, I cannot go:

I cannot tell. Vertue is of so little regard in these Costor

mongers that true valor is turn'd Beare‑heard. Pregnan

cie is made a Tapster, and hath his quicke wit wasted in

giuing Recknings: all the other gifts appertinent to man

(as the malice of this Age shapes them) are not woorth a

Gooseberry. You that are old, consider not the capaci

ties of vs that are yong: you measure the heat of our Li

uers, with the bitternes of your gals: & we that are in the

vaward of our youth, I must confesse, are wagges too.
