They speak of much travail and carefulness, ¹how the household must be brought up and provided for in wedlock. And yet the doting fools them selves are fain to nourish those shameful harlots with much greater care, and yet be afraid, that when they have done their best, the greedy sack will not be filled, and that the filthy strumpet will yet bring forth a greater reckoning upon thy trencher, and all to get the bag of money into her own hands. Moreover among whores is wasting and expenses ²most regarded, nether art thou welcome but thy money. No more money, no more love. I must have the money & purse, saith the harlot take thou thy cloak and thy baggage. Let another come that hath more money, for he hath been in the bath, and is dispatched. Thus may he byte his lips and cratch his pate, and take that for his farewell that he getteth of his harlot.
