From Bartholomew Fair by Ben Jonson

male · comedic · 49 sec

Peace, Numps.--Friend, do not meddle with him, an you be wise, and would shew your head above board; he will sting thorough your wrought night-cap, believe me. A set of these violins I would buy too, for a delicate young noise I have in the country, that are every one a size less than another, just like your fiddles. I would fain have a fine young masque at my marriage, now I think on't: But I do want such a number of things!--And Numps will not help me now, and I dare not speak to him.
