smoake it long ere you better your owne discourse or make your Accounts even which Time expects at your hands A whole ounce of Tobacco will hardly purchase one dram of wit Repentance is the best fruit you shall reape out of such an unsavory herbe Art thou yet reclaimed or art thou hardned If the one Time shall entertaine thee with his blessing if the other Time will bid thee farewell but farewell thou canst not being relinquished and utterly forsaken by Time I am yet staying heere in the street for thee answer mee but with hope that thou wilt come and thou wilt revive poore Time that droopes with despaire of thy returne Yet Spissum verbum est amanti veniet I pray thee foreslow not my hopes frustrate not my expectance but satisfie my love Never did pleasures with all their appearance so much affect thee nor any temporary delights so well deserve thee Come then quickly to him that doth both love thee and hath well deserved thee Odit nec patitur moras amor That love which proceeds from the heart hates delayes with her hart but where love is dissembling there love without offence may be delaying How long have I observed thee yonder smoaking and was doubtfull whether thou wert as thou seemedst a man or that Beast which the naturall Historian talkes off that sends out nought but fire In I durst not come to thee for I doubted if I had remembred thee of my abuse I should have beene spurn'd and spurted at for my labour Thou art too great to be put in mind of thy errours but the time will come Et nesci●… citius an facilius when thou wilt wish with briny eyes relenting heart and all attendants of a passionate and distracted soule thou hadst received my instructions attended to my advertisements and made Use of my Cautions I will therefore with this publicke and irrevocable Edict summon three maine infringers of my Will contemners of my selfe and corrupters of the Age my summons shall serve for my last warning if they returne no more to those Stygian-shops those Cymerian hovels of darkenesse I will remit their former errours if in despite of my summons they continue in the height of their Flaming vanities their smoaky Impostures Time shall whip those three Stygmaticall Catolounes to death cutting them downe like Mugweedes with the Sythe of Fate Those three majesticke Tobacco-nosers Captaine WHIFFE Captaine PIPE and Captaine SNUFFE And first for Captaine WHIFFE To Captaine WHIFFE YOu Captaine that glory in your Art of vanity making a high Road-way 'twixt your mouth and your guttes and with a cunning retrait bringing it backe same way it came you that set up bils for your Novice to reade as thus Whosoever wil be Disciplined or Matricula ted in the Art Science or Mystery of Tobacco-whiffing let him subscribe his name the place of his being and Captaine Whiff will be ready there to attend his yong master-ships pleasure with the profoundst of his skil O my impudent Sharke Art thou fled from thy Captaine dar'st thou now usurpe the name of Valour Thou that durst not smell Gunpowder art now turn'd Tobacco-whiffer For thee if there were no Time yet there would remaine some few Minutes reserved to commend thee to a halter for thy flight from thy Captaine I my selfe will present thee for altogether thou shalt not onely bee hanged I would have thee marke me before the eye of the world but I will have thee begg'd for an Anatomie that thy Entrals like Tamerlaines blacke Bannaret may hang for Tropheyes in honour of Captaine Whiffe and his thrice-puissant and thrice-renowned Profession Having brought thee to be this Anatomy I will leave thee To Captaine PIPE YOu Captaine Pipe because your name is good and many Pipes we need in this our flourishing Troynovant for conveyance of that pure Element water into our Citie You I say shall be imployed in conveying of water because you have beene ever used by men which frequented those Alleyes to those despicable and forlorne creatures those diseased Gally-foists of Turneball Picke-hatch Ram-Allie and other Suburbane-traders that in contempt of Vertue make a Contract with Hell This though it be no worke of Charity yet it is as good a worke as is expected of thee Captaine thou wert once the Gallants Pander beare now the Whoores Tankard Where I will leave thee To Captaine SNUFFE CAptaine Snuffe it may bee you will take it in snuffe if Time tell you wherein you erre but best is as I am indifferent for thy hate I am secure for thy power Renounce the Devill Captaine be not fired before thy time be respective as thou art a Captaine of thine honour and take heed thou taste not for thy Tobacco Brimstone and Sulphur I would not have thee snuffe at mine instructions for I may and with unamated front must tell thee that I have contested with a man of as great worth and of far more grace it may be The higher Cedar if faultie deserves the rougher censure Opposition to the malevolent disposition is my recreation Now it may bee that in some drunken passion thou wilt sweare to stab me what wilt thou gaine by it where wilt thou bee when Time has no being Let not my precepts move thine indignation but thy conversion for thy threats Time never feared them though spoken by valour much lesse by an indiscreet Asse that is carried away with choler Now for my Pipe-invective if it drive thee into a fume from a fume to a flame my heart is hoofed may thy gall with fume bee seared thy guts with the flame be scorched my fire-worke will bee secured though with paper-squibs onely sconced If Time should pray for thee I thinke thou wouldst not thanke mee yet I will offer a few orisons up for thee for I doubt thou canst offer none for thy selfe Leave me that s●…uffing and fall to sighing thou art neare thy grave and then thou shalt bee smoakt for thy vaine time Receive my teares as testimonies of my love for ill is that nature that sends them forth in hate meane time these succinct Cautions I dedicate as remembrances to all the world that when Time shal surcease to bee and shall leave them Time-lesse Eternitie may afterwards crowne them TIMES remembrances to the world LIve in the world as if thou meantst to leave it being indifferent of loving it and resolved to despise it In honour seeke it not for seldome is honour sought by deserts if shee may by direct courses bee purchased without appearance of thine owne seeking receive her Gold should bee taken if offered In riches bee not so prodigall as thine owne expence may breed want or so miserable as thou canst not use thine owne In life prepare for death in time for eternitie of time that when thy being is expired here thou mayest live ever elsewhere In eminent places let not the object of Earth darken thine eye for Heaven for Time had rather bee a poore sojournour
