A Tale of a Tub

Composed by Ben. Johnson.

Hugh. Sir I thank you for't.
That your good worship, would not let me run
Longer in error, but would take me up thus -
Preamble. You are my learned, and canonick neighbour:
I would not have you stray; but the incorrigible
Knot-headed beast, the Clowns, or Constables,
Still let them graze; eat Salads; chew the Cud:
All the town-musick will not move a log.
Hugh. The Beetle and wedges will where you will have 'hem.
