Newes out of Islington . Project .

WHy how now Plough-man : what melancholy ?

Plough .

Yes , and more than melancholy , I am mad ; nay , more , I am stark mad , and ever will be mad , what 's that to thee ?

Pro .

Prethee tell me the cause ?

Plo .

The cause ? to give halfe of a French Crown for a Mastive , and then to have the Bear-garden , blown downe , I think is sufficient cause enough to make the patientest plough-man in Christendome goe hang himselfe .

Proj .

Is the Bear-garden down ?

Plou .

Yes marry is it , if you will not believe me , you may goe to Islington and see it lie as flat as a Shrove-tuesday pan-cake ; but this tricke shall make me to be more wise than to spend childrens portions 〈◇〉 building of Beare-gardens , if the windes grow so high once .

Pro .

I am of this conceit plough-man , that the winds conspired together , to make thee first run out of thy cloaths , then out of thy wits , & then goe hang thy selfe .

Plou .

You are deceived Projector , the winds came onely for this purpose : that thinking thou hadst procured a patent for Bear-baiting , and hadst then been trying thy skill , they intended to drive thee and thy patent both in hell together ; but your time being yet not come , it mist you , and overthrew the Bear-garden .

Proj .

This plough-man hath more wit than halfe a dozen of the wisest Projectors in England ; I have invented a project to make him free of our Corporation ; some of his trade wee have already , and if we had him also , wee were made : honest plough-man I have hitherto been in jest , and so I hope hast thou .

Plou .

I le tell thee ( Projector ) another reason why of late the winds blew so furiously : It was to give the whole world notice , that all projectors were knaves , and that they would undoe all England , if that young Brandon had not the cutting them off very speedily .

Proj .

Come , I know plough-man , that thou hast bin all this time in jest , ( because I love thee well ) be rul'd by me , and I le shew thee a way to bee rich in spight of fortune , and become honourable in spight of all thy enemies .

Plough .

And become a knave in spight of the devill himselfe , as you are .

Proj .

Good ploughman , interrupt me no● ; as you like my motion so make use of it .

Plough .

To make use of thy motion , will be to climbe nine motions hand and foot , ( Tiburne ) and never come downe againe , untill young Greg ▪ make use of his cute lash ; and I am sure that will be worse than vexing at the fall of the new Bear-garden . But yet I pray let me heare your motion , as I like it , so will I make use of it .

Proj .

Doe , and flourish , doe what thou wilt , command what thou wile , and take what thou wilt , who is 't shall dare for to controule thee ? I my selfe which now am called projector throughout the world , when first I took upon me that same trade I was not worth the third part of a groat : but now through my Projects , who of late could have done more in the world than I ? what , and who was hee which I commanded not ? I have pulled downe and raised up : I have snatched away from some , and given again to others some , but kept the best part to my selfe . Those which I thought would not easily be brought to my purpose , I allured them by my golden hook , and so drawed them unto mee , and so maist thou . Those which I thought endeavoured to prevent my plots , I kept them close , and made them con the old Proverb , silentia tutum est : in plain tearms I made them as mute as fishes ; and so maist thou .

Plough .

Faith Mr. Projector so I may be hang'd as well as you : I shall heare good scrape anon I make no question .

Pro .

I could brag of a hundred feats which I have done alone , and so in time maist thou , of the Patents which I have procured . To be short I can bragge that I have cheated the whole world .

Plough .

Brag on : I make no question but that shortly young Greg . will cheate you ; hee will serve you as the Butcher his Dog , make you believe he carries you to breakfast , but it will prove a hanging one .

Proj .

What saist thou plough-man , wilt thou make use of my motion ?

Plough .

Will you have me make use of I know not what ?

Proj .

In plaine termes , wilt thou turne Projector or Cheater , which thou wilt , as I am , couzen the world as I doe , and then shalt thou have as I have .

Plough .

Good Mr. projector , two words to a bargaine : I love money well , but my neck better .

Proj .

Why dost thou not thinke , but that I have wayes enough to keep my selfe from hanging ?

Plough .

Faith Sir I cannot tell , I thinke if you be not hang'd the more is the pitty .

Proj .

Push man , I have such friends as the world cannot yeeld the like .

Plough .

I cannot tell ; perhaps you may verifie the old proverb ; what saies M. Parker , the more knave the better fortune , but yet it is verie unlikely . There is a certaine thing , good Master projector , ( If I be not deceiv'd ) cald Parliament .

Proj .

What have I to doe with that ?

Plough .

I know not whether you have any thing to doe with that or no , but I am sure they will have somewhat to doe with you : I doubt me , that I shal be troubled to come out of the Country to see you take a turne in the Citie .

Proj .

What if I have the Pope to my friend ?

Ploughman .

Faith if thou have ten popes , and as many devills , I believe it will prove so .

Pro .

I cannot but laugh at thy simplicity .

Plough .

You may laugh as much as you please at me living , but looke to it , I le laugh ten times as much at you hanging .

Pro .

I le tell thee ploughman let the worst come to the worst , I can fly to him , and so maist thou .

Plou :

Truely I know not the way , nor doe I intend to learne , perhaps some of your tribe which weare the popes livery , having beene lately there , have layd a clew to direct you thither , wherefore take your journy when you please good Mr. projector if your forerunners have deceived you , I make no question but that there be 20. Iesuits in England can guide you the way , as for my part I love so well the K. of England that I intend never to run to Rome .

Proj .

You will not .

Plough .

no indeed Mr. Projector , I had rather work with my plow at home then to play at hazard abroad .

Proj .

you need not disdain it , for as good as you doe hazard abroad .

Plough .

Nay good Mr. Projector you need not say so , for I know very well that there have been two or three notable ramblers not long since Sr. Iohn Mandevill . I have read their travels .

Proj .

ploughman now I perceive that you can jeare knavishly .

Plough .

And I know that projectors can che●te rogishly , but I le be sure to keepe within compas , there is a new Booke come out lately which is called so .

Proj .

well ploughman you will not take my advice .

Plough .

No , good Mr. Projector .

Proj .

There have beene some of your occupation which doe .

Plough

J make no question somtimes but that a ploughman may become a paire of gallowes as well as a Citizen . Do you think that there be not as long cares for the pillory and necks for the rope in the Countrey as well as the City , yes I le warrant you good Mr. Projector .

Proj .

Well I see you are no man for my purpose , wherefore fare you well cloddish ploughman .

Plough .

A word with you before you g●e good Mr. Projector .

Proj .

Speake your pleasure .

Plough .

Here is a groat for you , ( because you should not put the Common wealth to charges ) to buy a rope and hang thy selfe .

But now I remember my selfe , J wil save my groat for feare young Gregory be angry with mee for hindring him of some of his practises .

Proj .

Time hath beene , base Clod , that you nor the proudest in the world dared not once to affront me .

Plough .

I but ( God be thanked ) there hath bene a Parliament since which is the reason that so many of the Projectors corporations breeches make buttons .

Proj .

This whorson varlet pricks mee to the heart .

Plough .

I see you are sad Sir , wherefore to make you merry listen but a while , and I l'e sing you a song of the New Bearegardens fall , perhaps you may pick something out of it for your own consolation .

A SONG . To the tune of So old , so old . The force of winds who can withstand . In ship , on horse , by Sea or Land . Its power abroad hath been much showne . Poor Merchants have it too well knowne . So low , so low , so wondrous low , The Beare-gardens downe : All passengers see , It lay on the ground . The horse which now the race doth runne , By force of wind may be undone : The ship which now the C●●an rid , Anon may in the sea be hid , So low , so low , so wondrous low , The Beare-gardens downe , All passengers see It lay on the ground . The Bulls and Beares may now rejoyce , Expressing mirth with merry voyce : Aeolus the god of windes , Lately hath prov'd to them kind . So low , so low , so wondrous low , The Beare-gardens downe , All passengers see It lay on the ground . The structure seemed to be rare , With the which few might compare , But now the winds have cast it downe , The ruines lay flat on the ground . So low , so low , so wondrous low , The Beare-gardens downe , All passengers see It lay on the ground . Let not projectors brag nor boast , Because of late they rul'd the roast . Their pride may chance to have a trip , If Gregory cast them on the hip . So low , so low so wondrous low . The Beargardens downe . All passengers see , It lay on the ground . Let Masse priests pack away to Rome , Least when they come to heare their doo●●● . For very feare they chance to fall . Crosses , bea●s , tapers , and all . So low , so low , so wondrous low , The Beare-gardens downe , All passengers see It lay on the ground . The breath of Iustice is more strong , Than Boreas blasts , therefore along . Pack baldpates , Iesuits and Friers . Projectors till t is our desires . Least low , so low , so wondrous low . You all doe fall downe . And passengers see . You lay on the ground .
Proj .

You have done now durty Clod have you not ?

Plough .

Yes knavish projector that I have .

Proj .

If ever projector comes into estimation againe , you shall at Tiburne sing another song to a sorrowfull tune .

Plough .

Thanke you master projector , I thus with my other song take my leave of you .

A SONG . To the tune of the Gipsies . Some did England molest , And the poor much opprest , And I dare to protest , They did it not in iesr , I love so well our English Crowne . I wish projectors were puld downe . Our Leather hath been deare , Which made for some good cheere , Which now are nere the neare . But surely stinks for feare . I love so well our English Crowne . I wish projectors were puld downe . Tobacco that was made To be a Lordlike trade . Those which had but a spade . Have now a bilbo blade . I love so well our English Crowne . I wish projectors were puld downe . And wine that was made deare , I would not have mine eare , A peeping hole so neare , As of one I did heare . I love so well our English Crowne . I wish projectors were puld downe . Wee had a dearth of Sope . But now as I doe hope , Those which then troad such scope . Must now dance in a rope . I love so well our English Crowne . I wish projectors were puld downe .
Plough .

How like you this projector .

Proj .

As well as I like your selfe , and that is , worse then the Devill .

Plou . Farewell projector I love thee so well , That I doe wish thee or thy deeds in hell . If thou stay long sure Tiburne it wil mourn . And laugh us honest Countriman to scorne . Young Grig : in stead of hang man , knave will bee . Because such as thy selfe , doe goe scotfree . I love a man , but never such an evill . That proves good vnto none except the Devill . Once more farewell , to thee I say ade● , When I want knavery , I will send for you . FINIS .
