Rule a Wife, and Have a Wife

Front matter (continued 2)

Reading edition

Leon

Come hither wife, do you know this hand?

Margarita

I do Sir,

'Tis

Estifania

, that was once my woman.

Leon

She writes to me here, that one

Cacafogo

An usuring Jewellers son (I know the Rascal)

Is mortally faln in love with ye.

Margarita

Is a monster, deliver me from mountains.

Leon

Do you goe a birding for all sorts of people?

And this evening will come to ye and shew ye Jewels,

And offers any thing to get access to ye,

If I can make or sport or profit on him,

(For he is fit for both) she bids me use him,

And so I will, be you conformable, and follow but my will.

Margarita

I shall not fail, Sir.

Leon

Will the Duke come again do you think?

Margarita

No sure Sir,

H'as now no policie to bring him hither.

Leon

Nor bring you to him, if my wit hold fair wife:

Let's in to dinner.

[Exeunt.

Enter Perez.

Michael Perez

Had I but lungs enough to bawl sufficiently,

That all the queans in Christendom might hear me,

That men might run away from contagion,

I had my wish; would it were most high treason,

Most infinite high, for any man to marry,

I mean for any man that would live handsomely,

And like a Gentleman, in his wits and credit.

What torments shall I put her to,

Phalaris

bull now,

Pox they love bulling too well, though they smoak for't.

Cut her apieces? every piece will live still,

And every morsel of her will do mischief;

They have so many lives, there's no hanging of 'em,

They are too light to drown, they are cork and feathers;

To burn too cold, they live like Salamanders;

Under huge heaps of stones to bury her,

And so depress her as they did the Giants;

She will move under more than built old Babel,

I must destroy her.

Enter Cacafogo, with a Casket.

Cacafogo

Be cozen'd by a thing of clouts, a she moth,

That every silkmans shop breeds; to be cheated,

And of a thousand duckets by a whim wham?

Michael Perez

Who's that is cheated, speak again thou vision,

But art thou cheated? minister some comfort:

Tell me directly art thou cheated bravely?

Come, prethee come, art thou so pure a coxcomb

To be undone? do not dissemble with me,

Tell me I conjure thee.

Cacafogo

Then keep thy circle,

For I am a spirit wild that flies about thee,

And who e're thou art, if thou be'st humane,

I'le let thee plainly know, I am cheated damnably.

Michael Perez

Ha, ha, ha.

Cacafogo

Dost thou laugh? damnably, I say most damnably.

Michael Perez

By whom, good spirit speak, speak ha, ha, ha.

Cacafogo

I will utter, laugh till thy lungs crack, by a rascal woman,

A lewd, abominable, and plain woman.

Dost thou laugh still?

Michael Perez

I must laugh, prethee pardon me,

I shall laugh terribly.

Cacafogo

I shall be angry, terrible angry, I have cause.

Michael Perez

That's it, and 'tis no reason but thou shouldst be angry,

Angry at heart, yet I must laugh still at thee.

By a woman cheated? art' sure it was a woman?

Cacafogo

I shall break thy head, my valour itches at thee.

Michael Perez

It is no matter, by a woman cozen'd,

A real woman?

Cacafogo

A real Devil,

Plague of her Jewels and her copper chains,

How rank they smell.

Michael Perez

Sweet cozen'd Sir let me see them,

I have been cheated too, I would have you note that,

And lewdly cheated, by a woman also,

A scurvie woman, I am undone sweet Sir,

Therefore I must have leave to [l]augh.

Cacafogo

Pray ye take it,

You are the merriest undone man in

Europe

.

What need we fiddles, bawdy songs and sack,

When our own miseries can make us merry?

Michael Perez

Ha, ha, ha.

I have seen these Jewels, what a notable penniworth

Have you had next your heart? you will not take Sir

Some twenty Duckets?

Cacafogo

Thou art deceiv'd, I will take.

Michael Perez

To clear your bargain now.

Cacafogo

I'le take some ten, some any thing, some half ten,

Half a Ducket.

Michael Perez

An excellent lapidary set these stones sure,

Do you mark their waters?

Cacafogo

Quick-sand choak their waters,

And hers that bought 'em too, but I shall find her.

Michael Perez

And so shall I, I hope, but do not hurt her,

You cannot find in all this Kingdom,

(If you had need of cozening, as you may have,

For such gross natures will desire it often,

'Tis at some time too a fine variety,)

A woman that can cozen ye so neatly,

She has taken half mine anger off with this trick.

[Exit.

Cacafogo

If I were valiant now, I would kill this fellow,

I have mony enough lies by me at a pinch

To pay for twenty Rascals lives that vex me,

I'le to this Lady, there I shall be satisfied.

[Exit.

Enter Leon, and Margarita.

Leon

Come, we'l away unto your country house,

And there we'l learn to live contently,

This place is full of charge, and full of hurry,

No part of sweetness dwells about these cities.

Margarita

Whither you will, I wait upon your pleasure;

Live in a hollow tree Sir, I'le live with ye.

Leon

I, now you strike a harmony, a true one,

When your obedience waits upon your Husband,

And your sick will aims at the care of honour,

Why now I dote upon ye, love ye dearly,

And my rough nature falls like roaring streams,

Clearly and sweetly into your embraces.

O what a Jewel is a woman excellent,

A wise, a vertuous and a noble woman!

When we meet such, we bear our stamps on both sides,

And through the world we hold our currant virtues,

Alone we are single medals, only faces,

And wear our fortunes out in useless shadows,

Command you now, and ease me of that trouble,

I'le be as humble to you as a servant,

Bid whom you please, invite your noble friends,

They shall be welcome all, visit acquaintance,

Goe at your pleasure, now experience

Has link't you fast unto the chain of goodness:

What noise is this, what dismal cry?

[Clashing swords. A cry within, down with their swords.]

Margarita

'Tis loud too.

Sure there's some mischief done i'th' street, look out there.

Leon

Look out and help.

Enter a Servant.

Servant

Oh Sir the Duke

Medina

.

Leon

What of the Duke

Medina

?

Servant

Oh sweet Gentleman, is almost slain.

Margarita

Away away and help him, all the house help.

[Exit Servant.

Leon

How slain? why Margarita,

Why wife, sure some new device they have a foot again,

Some trick upon my credit, I shall meet it,

I had rather guide a ship Imperial

Alone, and in a storm, than rule one woman.

Enter Duke, Margarita, Sanchio, Alonzo, Servant.

Margarita

How came ye hurt Sir?

Duke of Medina

I fell out with my friend the noble Coronel,

My cause was naught, for 'twas about your honour:

And he that wrongs the Innocent ne'r prospers,

And he has left me thus for charity,

Lend me a bed to ease my tortur'd body,

That e're I perish I may show my penitence,

I fear I am slain.

Leon

Help Gentlemen to carry him,

There shall be nothing in this house my Lord,

But as your own.

Duke of Medina

I thank ye noble Sir.

Leon

To bed with him, and wife give your attendance.

Enter Juan.

Juan de Castro

Doctors and Surgions.

Duke of Medina

Do not disquiet me,

But let me take my leave in peace.

[Ex. Duke, Sanchio, Alon. Marg. Servant.

Leon

Afore me

'Tis rarely counterfeited.

Juan de Castro

True, it is so Sir,

And take you heed, this last blow do not spoil ye,

He is not hurt, only we made a scuffle,

As though we purpos'd anger; that same scratch

On's hand he took, to colour all and draw compassion,

That he might get into your house more cunningly.

I must not stay, stand now, and y'are a brave fellow.

Leon

I thank ye noble Coronel, and I honour ye.

[Exit Juan.

Never be quiet?

Enter Margarita.

Margarita

He's most desperate ill Sir,

I do not think these ten months will recover him.

Leon

Does he hire my house to play the fool in,

Or does it stand on Fairy ground, we are haunted,

Are all men and their wives troubled with dreams thus?

Margarita

What ail you Sir?

Leon

Nay what ail you sweet wife,

To put these daily pastimes on my patience?

What dost thou see in me, that I should suffer thus,

Have not I done my part like a true Husband,

And paid some desperate debts you never look'd for?

Margarita

You have done handsomely I must confess Sir.

Leon

Have I not kept thee waking like a hawk?

And watcht thee with delights to satisfy thee?

The very tithes of which had won a Widow.

Margarita

Alas I pity ye.

Leon

Thou wilt make me angry,

Thou never saw'st me mad yet.

Margarita

You are alwaies,

You carry a kind of bedlam still about ye.

Leon

If thou pursuest me further I run stark mad,

If you have more hurt Dukes or Gentlemen,

To lye here on your cure, I shall be desperate,

I know the trick, and you shall feel I know it,

Are ye so hot that no hedge can contain ye?

I'le have thee let blood in all the veins about thee,

I'le have thy thoughts found too, and have them open'd,

Thy spirits purg'd, for those are they that fire ye,

Thy maid shall be thy Mistris, thou the maid,

And all those servile labours that she reach at,

And goe through cheerfully, or else sleep empty,

That maid shall lye by me to teach you duty,

You in a pallet by to humble ye,

And grieve for what you lose.

Margarita

I have lost my self Sir,

And all that was my base self, disobedience,

[kneels.

My wantonness, my stubborness I have lost too,

And now by that pure faith good wives are crown'd with,

By your own nobleness.

Enter Altea.

Leon

I take ye up, and wear ye next my heart,

See you be worth it. Now what with you?

Altea

I come to tell my Lady,

There is a fulsome fellow would fain speak with her.

Leon

'Tis

Cacafogo

, goe and entertain him,

And draw him on with hopes.

Margarita

I shall observe ye.

Leon

I have a rare design upon that Gentleman,

And you must work too.

Altea

I shall Sir most willingly.

Leon

Away then both, and keep him close in some place

From the Dukes sight, and keep the Duke in too,

Make 'em believe both, I'le find time to cure 'em.

[Exeunt.

Enter Perez, and Estifania, with a Pistol, and a Dagge[r].

Michael Perez

Why how darst thou meet me again thou rebel,

And knowst how thou hast used me thrice, thou rascal?

Were there not waies enough to fly my vengeance,

No holes nor vaults to hide thee from my fury,

But thou must meet me face to face to kill thee?

I would not seek thee to destroy thee willingly,

But now thou comest to invite me,

And comest upon me,

How like a sheep-biting Rogue taken i'th' manner,

And ready for the halter dost thou look now!

Thou hast a hanging look thou scurvy thing, hast ne'r a knife

Nor ever a string to lead thee to Elysium?

Be there no pitifull 'Pothecaries in this town,

That have compassion upon wretched women,

And dare administer a dram of rats-bane,

But thou must fall to me?

Estifania

I know you have mercy.

Michael Perez

If I had tuns of mercy thou deserv'st none,

What new trick is now afoot, and what new houses

Have you i'th' air, what orchards in apparition,

What canst thou say for thy life?

Estifania

Little or nothing,

I know you'l kill me, and I know 'tis useless

To beg for mercy, pray let me draw my book out,

And pray a little.

Michael Perez

Do, a very little,

For I have farther business than thy killing,

I have mony yet to borrow, speak when you are ready.

Estifania

Now now Sir, now,

[shews a Pistol.

Come on, do you start off from me,

Do you swear great Captain, have you seen a spirit?

Michael Perez

Do you wear guns?

Estifania

I am a Souldiers wife Sir,

And by that priviledge I may be arm'd,

Now what's the news, and let's discourse more friendly,

And talk of our affairs in peace.

Michael Perez

Let me see,

Prethee let me see thy gun, 'tis a very pretty one.

Estifania

No no Sir, you shall feel.

Michael Perez

Hold ye villain, what thine own Husband?

Estifania

Let mine own Husband then

Be in's own wits, there, there's a thousand duckets,

Who must provide for you, and yet you'l kill me.

Michael Perez

I will not hurt thee for ten thousand millio[n]s.

Estifania

When will you redeem your Jewels, I have pawn'd 'em,

You see for what, we must keep touch.

Michael Perez

I'le kiss thee,

And get as many more, I'le make thee famous,

Had we the house now!

Estifania

Come along with me,

If that be vanish't there be more to hire Sir.

Michael Perez

I see I am an asse when thou art near me.

Enter Leon, Margarita, and Altea, with a Taper.

Leon

Is the fool come?

Altea

Yes and i'th' celler fast,

And there he staies his good hour till I call him,

He will make dainty musick among the sack-butts,

I have put him just, Sir, under the Dukes chamber.

Leon

It is the better.

Altea

Has given me royally,

And to my Lady a whole load of portigues.

Leon

Better and better still, go

Margarita

,

Now play your prize, you say you dare be honest,

I'le put ye to your best.

Margarita

Secure your self Sir, give me the candle,

Pass away in silence.

[Ex. Leon and Altea. She knocks.

Duke of Medina

Who's there, oh oh.

Margarita

My Lord,

Duke of Medina within

Have ye brought me comfort?

Margarita

I have my Lord.

Come forth 'tis I, come gently out I'le help ye,

Enter Duke, in a gown.

Come softly too, how do you?

Duke of Medina

Are there none here?

Let me look round; we cannot be too wary,

[noise below.

Oh let me bless this hour, are you alone sweet friend?

Margarita

Alone to comfort you.

[Cacafogo makes a noise below.

Duke of Medina

What's that you tumble?

I have heard a noise this half hour under me,

A fearfull noise.

Margarita

The fat thing's mad i'th' celler,

And stumbles from one hogs-head to another,

Two cups more, and he ne'r shall find the way out.

What do you fear? come, sit down by me chearfully,

My Husband's safe, how do your wounds?

Duke of Medina

I have none Lady,

My wounds I counterfeited cunningly,

[noise below.

And feign'd the quarrel too, to injoy you sweet,

Let's lose no time, heark the same noise again.

Margarita

What noise, why look ye pale? I hear no stirring,

This goblin in the vault will be so tipled.

You are not well I know by your flying fancy,

Your body's ill at ease, your wounds.

Duke of Medina

I have none, I am as lusty and as full of health,

High in my blood.

Margarita

Weak in your blood you would say,

How wretched is my case, willing to please ye,

And find you so disable?

Duke of Medina

Believe me Lady.

Margarita

I know you will venture all you have to satisfy me,

Your life I know, but is it fit I spoil ye,

Is it my love do you think?

Cacafogo below

Here's to the Duke.

Duke of Medina

It nam'd me certainly,

I heard it plainly sound.

Margarita

You are hurt mortally,

And fitter for your prayers Sir than pleasure,

What starts you make? I would not kiss you wantonly,

For the world's wealth; have I secur'd my Husband,

And put all doubts aside to be deluded?

Cacafogo below

I come, I come.

Duke of Medina

Heaven bless me.

Margarita

And bless us both, for sure this is the Devil,

I plainly heard it now, he will come to fetch ye,

A very spirit, for he spoke under ground,

And spoke to you just as you would have snatcht me,

You are a wicked man, and sure this haunts ye,

Would you were out o'th' house.

Duke of Medina

I would I were,

O' that condition I had leapt a window.

Margarita

And that's the least leap if you mean to scape Sir,

Why what a frantick man were you to come here,

What a weak man to counterfeit deep wounds,

To wound another deeper!

Duke of Medina

Are you honest then?

Margarita

Yes then and now, and ever, and excellent honest,

And exercise this pastime but to shew ye,

Great men are fools sometimes as well as wretches.

Would you were well hurt, with any hope of life,

Cut to the brains, or run clean through the body,

To get out quietly as you got in Sir,

I wish it like a friend that loves ye dearly,

For if my Husband take ye, and take ye thus a counterfeit,

One that would clip his credit out of his honour,

He must kill ye presently,

There is no mercy nor an hour of pity,

And for me to intreat in such an agony,

Would shew me little better than one guilty,

Have you any mind to a Lady now?

Duke of Medina

Would I were off fair,

If ever Lady caught me in a trap more.

Margarita

If you be well and lusty, fy fy shake not,

You say you love me, come, come bravely now,

Despise all danger, I am ready for ye.

Duke of Medina

She mocks my misery, thou cruel Lady.

Margarita

Thou cruel Lord, wouldst thou betray my honesty,

Betray it in mine own house, wrong my Husband,

Like a night thief, thou darst not name by day-light?

Duke of Medina

I am most miserable.

Margarita

You are indeed,

And like a foolish thing you have made your self so,

Could not your own discretion tell ye Sir,

When I was married I was none of yours?

Your eyes were then commanded to look off me,

And I now stand in a circle and secure,

Your spells nor power can never reach my body,

Mark me but this, and then Sir be most miserable,

'Tis sacriledge to violate a wedlock,

You rob two Temples, make your self twice guilty,

You ruine hers, and spot her noble Husbands.

Duke of Medina

Let me be gone, I'le never more attempt ye.

Margarita

You cannot goe, 'tis not in me to save ye,

Dare ye do ill, and poorly then shrink under it?

Were I the Duke

Medina

, I would fight now,

For you must fight and bravely, it concerns you,

You do me double wrong if you sneak off Sir,

And all the world would say I lov'd a coward,

And you must dye too, for you will be kill'd,

And leave your youth, your honour and your state,

And all those dear delights you worship't here.

[Noise below.

Duke of Medina

The noise again!

Cacafogo below

Some small beer if you love me.

Margarita

The Devil haunts you sure, your sins are mighty.

A drunken Devil too, to plague your villany.

Duke of Medina

Preserve me but this once.

Margarita

There's a deep well

In the next yard, if you dare venture drowning,

It is but dea[t]h.

Duke of Medina

I would not dye so wretchedly.

Margarita

Out of a garret window I'le let you down then,

But say the rope be rotten, 'tis huge high too.

Duke of Medina

Have you no mercy?

Margarita

Now you are frighted throughly,

And find what 'tis to play the fool in folly,

And see with clear eyes your detested folly,

I'le be your guard.

Duke of Medina

And I'le be your true servant,

Ever from this hour vertuously to love ye,

Chastly and modestly to look upon ye,

And here I seal it.

Margarita

I may kiss a stranger, for you must now be so.

Enter Leon, Juan, Alonzo, Sanchio.

Leon

How do you my Lord,

Me thinks you look but poorly on this matter.

Has my wife wounded ye, you were well before,

Pray Sir be comforted, I have forgot all,

Truly forgiven too, wife you are a right one,

And now with unknown nations I dare trust ye.

Juan de Castro

No more feign'd fights my Lord, they never prosper.

Leon

Who's this? the Devil in the vault?

Altea

'Tis he Sir, and as lovingly drunk, as though he had studied it.

Cacafogo

Give me a cup of Sack, and kiss me Lady,

Kiss my sweet face, and make thy Husband cuckold,

An Ocean of sweet Sack, shall we speak treason?

Leon

He is Devilish drunk.

Duke of Medina

I had thought he had been a Devil.

He made as many noises and as horrible.

Leon

Oh a true lover Sir will lament loudly,

Which of the butts is your Mistris?

Cacafogo

Butt in thy belly.

Leon

There's two in thine I am sure, 'tis grown so monstrous.

Cacafogo

Butt in thy face.

Leon

Go carry him to sleep,

A fools love should be drunk, he has paid well for't too.

When he is sober let him out to rail,

Or hang himself, there will be no loss of him.

[Exit Caca. and Servant.

Enter Perez, and Estifania.

Leon

Who's this? my Mauhound cousin?

Michael Perez

Good Sir, 'tis very good, would I had a house too,

For there is no talking in the open air,

My Tarmogant Couz, I would be bold to tell ye,

I durst be merry too; I tell you plainly,

You have a pretty seat, you have the luck on't,

A pretty Lady too, I have mist both,

My Carpenter built in a mist I thank him,

Do me the courtesie to let me see it,

See it but once more. But I shall cry for anger.

I'le hire a Chandlers shop close under ye,

And for my foolerie, sell sope and whip-cord,

Nay if you do not laugh now and laugh heartily,

You are a fool couz.

Leon

I must laugh a little,

And now I have done, couz thou shalt live with me,

My merry couz, the world shall not divorce us,

Thou art a valiant man, and thou shalt never want,

Will this content thee?

Michael Perez

I'le cry, and then I'le be thankfull,

Indeed I will, and I'le be honest to ye.

I would live a swallow here I must confess.

Wife I forgive thee all if thou be honest,

At thy peril, I believe thee excellent.

Estifania

If I prove otherwaies, let me beg first,

Hold, this is yours, some recompence for service,

Use it to nobler ends than he that gave it.

Duke of Medina

And this is yours, your true commission, Sir,

Now you are a Captain.

Leon

You are a noble Prince Sir,

And now a souldier, Gentleman, we all rejoyce in't.

Juan de Castro

Sir, I shall wait upon you through all fortunes.

Alonzo

And I.

Altea

And I must needs attend my Mistris.

Leon

Will you goe Sister?

Altea

Yes indeed good Brother,

I have two ties, mine own bloud,

And my Mistris.

Margarita

Is she your Sister?

Leon

Yes indeed good wife,

And my best Sister,

For she prov'd so, wench,

When she deceiv'd you with a loving Husband.

Altea

I would not deal so truly for a stranger.

Margarita

Well I could chide ye,

But it must be lovingly and like a Sister,

I'le bring you on your way, and feast ye nobly,

For now I have an honest heart to love ye,

And then deliver you to the blue

Neptune

.

Juan de Castro

Your colours you must wear, and wear 'em proudly,

Wear 'em before the bullet, and in bloud too,

And all the world shall know

We are Vertues servants.

Duke of Medina

And all the world shall know, a noble mind

Makes women beautifull, and envie blind.

[Exeunt.

Prologue.

Pleasure attend ye, and about ye sit The springs of mirth, fancy, delight and wit To stir you up, do not your looks let fall, Nor to remembrance our late errors call, Because this day w' are Spaniards all again, The story of our Play, and our Scene Spain: The errors too, do not for this cause hate, Now we present their wit and not their state. Nor Ladies be not angry if you see, A young fresh beauty, wanton and too free, Seek to abuse her Husband, still 'tis Spain, No such gross errors in your Kingdom raign, W' are Vesrals all, and though we blow the fire, We seldom make it flame up to desire, Take no example neither to begin, For some by precedent delight to sin: Nor blame the Poet if he slip aside Sometimes lasciviously if not too wide. But hold your Fanns close, and then smile at ease, A cruel Scene did never Lady please. Nor Gentlemen, pray be not you displeased, Though we present some men fool'd, some diseased, Some drunk, some mad: we mean not you, you're free, We taxe no farther than our Comedie, You are our friends, sit noble then and see.

Epilogue.

Good night our worthy friends, and may you part Each with as merry and as free a heart As you came hither; to those noble eyes That deign to smile on our poor faculties, And give a blessing to our labouring ends, As we hope many, to such fortune sends Their own desires, wives fair as light as chast; To those that live by spight Wives made in hast.
