Bar.
This fellow coins sure.
Die.
Give me some more drink.
Pray ye buy Books, buy Books,
You have a learned head,
stuff it with Libraries,
And understand ’em,
when ye have done, ’tis Justice.
Run not the Parish mad
with Controversies,
Nor preach Abstinence
to longing Women,
’Twill burge the
bottoms of their Consciences:
I would give the Church
new Organs, but I prophesie
The Church-wardens would
quickly pipe ’em out o’th’ Parish,
Two hundred Duckets
more to mend the Chancel,
And to paint true Orthographie,
as many,
They write Sunt
with a C, which is abominable,
’Pray you set
that down; to poor Maidens Marriages.
Lop.
I that’s well
thought of, what’s your will in that point?
A meritorious thing.
Bar.
No end of this Will?
Die.
I give per annum
two hundred Ells of Lockram,
That there be no strait
dealings in their Linnens,
But the Sails cut according
to their Burthens.
To all Bell-ringers,
I bequeath new Ropes,
And let them use ’em
at their own discretions.
Ars.
You may remember us.
Die.
I do good Gentlemen,
And I bequeath you both
good careful Surgions,
A Legacy, you have need
of, more than mony,
I know you want good
Diets, and good Lotions,
And in your pleasures,
good take heed.
Lop.
He raves now,
But ’twill be
quickly off.
Die.
I do bequeath ye
Commodities of Pins,
Brown-papers, Pack-threads,
Rost Pork, and Puddings,
Ginger-bread, and Jews-trumps,
Of penny Pipes, and
mouldy Pepper, take ’em,
Take ’em even
where you please and be cozen’d with ’em,
I should bequeath ye
Executions also,
But those I’le
leave to th’ Law.
Lop.
Now he grows temperate.
Bar.
You will give no more?
Die.
I am loth to give more
from ye,
Because I know you will
have a care to execute.
Only, to pious uses,
Sir, a little.
Bar.
If he be worth all these, I am made for ever.
Die.
I give to fatal Dames,
that spin mens threads out,
And poor distressed
Damsels, that are militant
As members of our own
Afflictions,
A hundred Crowns to
buy warm Tubs to work in,
I give five hundred
pounds to buy a Church-yard,
A spacious Church-yard,
to lay Thieves and Knaves in,
Rich men and honest
men take all the room up.
