"That is true," replied they; "the young man and the young lady, who were at your house yesternight, told it us; but we would know it from your own mouth."

"Or, if that convince you not, do you recognize this tress of raven hair this bouquet that she wore upon her bosom yesternight?" "That I gave her myself!" cried the cavalier. "By Heaven! she has proved false to me. But I must know," he added, fiercely, "who thou art ere thou goest hence.
For these smaller sort of Gentlemen, are they who sow strife and sedition between man and wife, and continually talk of new Taverns and Alehouses, clean Pots, and the best Wine; they alwaies know where there is an Oxhead newly broach'd: and the first word they speak, as soon as they come together, is, Well Sir, where were you yesternight, that we saw you not at our ordinary meeting place?
