A merry Dialogue betwen Thomas and John. In the praise, and dispraise of Women, and Wine▪
Thomas against the Women doth contend,
But John most stoutly doth their cause defend,
Young and Old, read these lines that ensue,
You'l all confess that which I write is true,
I know no reason, but that without despute,
This may as well be printed, as sung to the Lute
To a gallant delightful new Tune, well known amongst Musitianers, and in Play-houses, called, Women and Wine.
Thomas.
SOme Women are like to the Wine,
like the Sea, and like the Rocks;
But they y
t proves them, soon may find them
like the VVine and VVeather-Cocks:
But if you'l beleive me
I'le tell you true,
What light Women are like untoo,
Wine, Wine, Women and Wine,
thus may you compare them too,
John.
Women most constant Man do find,
not like the Sea, but like the Rocks,
They are evermore loving and kind,
not like the Wine and Weather-Cocks
But if, &c.
Thomas.
Women have hooks, & Women have crooks
so hath the VVine, so hath the VVine,
VVhich draws great Lawyers from their Books
so will y
e Wine, so will y
e Wine.
But if, &c.
John.
Women have beauty and fair looks,
so hath the VVine, so hath the Wine,
Far surpassing the Lawyers books
more then y
e VVine, more then y
e VVine
But if you'l beleive me,
I'le tell you true,
What good VVomen are like untoo,
Wine, Wine, Women and Wine,
thus may you compare them too.
Thomas.
VVOmen are witches when they may
so is the VVine, so is the VVine
which causeth men from their wives to stray
so will the VVine, so wil the VVine.
But if you'l beleive me
I'le tell you true,
What light VVomen are like untoo,
Wine, Wine, VVomen and Wine,
thus may you compare them untoo.
John.
VVomen are witty when they may,
so is not VVine, so is not VVine,
And causeth Men at home to stay,
so doth not VVine, so doth not VVine.
But if, &c.
Thomas.
VVomen have arms for to imbrace.
so hath the VVine, so hath the VVine,
VVhich brings brave Gallants to disgrace
so doth the VVine, so doth the VVine.
But if,
John.
VVomen most swéetly do imbrace,
more then the VVine, more then y
e VVine
And save their Husbands from disgrace,
so doth not VVine, so doth not VVine,
But if, &c.
Thomas.
Womens tongues are like sharp Swords,
so is the Wine, so is the Wine,
Which urgeth men to swear damn'd Oaths
so doth the Wine, so doth the Wine,
But if, &c.
John.
Womens tongues do speak swéet words,
so doth not Wine, so doth not Wine,
They can perswade from damned Oaths,
so will not Wine, so will not Wine.
But if, &c.
Thomas.
VVomen they do use to change,
so doth the VVine, so doth the Wine,
And often times abroad do Range,
when Sun doth shine, when Sun doth shine
But if, &c.
John.
Good women they will nev
[...]r change,
so will the Wine, so will the Wine
For profit they abroad will range,
Hail Rain or Shine, Hail or Shine
But if, &c.
Thomas.
Women they will fight and brawl,
fil'd with Wine, fil'd with Wine,
Their Husbands they will Cuckholds call
inflam'd with Wine, inflam'd with Wine
But if, &c.
John.
Good women they will comfort all,
like the best Wine, like the best Wine,
What ever sorrow doth be fall,
so will good Wine, so will good Wine.
But if you'l believe me,
I'le tell you true,
What good Women are like untoo,
Wine, Wine, Women and Wine,
thus you may compa
[...]e them too.
