Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Spouse and I: An Operatical Farce, in Two Acts Dame Paddock (entering from the farm house.) And Hopper's wife be i' the right; If lazy hinds like you appear. The com will ne'er be cut to-night - Paddock (entering from the field.) Not if you keep 'em loitering here. The sun has beam'd an hour or more: To work, and prate when labour's o'er. Chorus. Master and Dame, we'll haste away. And labour kindly all the day; And when our toil is o'er regale And drink your health in Scorem's ale. [Exeunt all but Paddock and Scorem. Scorem. Aye you for a drop of my best home brewed this morning, master Paddock? Paddock. They who do drink in a morning, neighbour Scorem, do generally get the head-ach by noon, and the heart-ach by night; and they be two troublesome companions. A clear head be the next thing to a clear conscience. Scorem. (Ironically.) And you have both, they say. Paddock. Why as to that, my conscience, thank heaven, be like my crop, pretty fairish; and Though my head be thick, as I say to my Spouse, There be nothing in that, as my Spouse do say to I. Scorem. Your spouse is a very sensible woman; but, by the bye, the whole village is curious to know who that stripling is you have lately hired; who, with his pretty looks and smart clothes has turned the heads of half the girls in the place. Paddock. Poor lad, he do seem to have known better days; he came to us a child of misfortune, and he be no Christian who do refuse to receive the wandering stranger. Scorem. True, master Paddock, and though I keep an alehouse, and some people are wicked enough to say I chalk double, my door is open to every stranger.
