Quar monologue (Act 5) — Bartholomew Fair: A Comedy

Stand aside, I'll answer you presently. [_He walks by._] Why should I not marry this six thousand pound, now I think on't, and a good trade too that she has beside, ha? The t'other wench Winwife is sure of; there's no expectation for me there. Here I may make myself some saver yet, if she continue mad, there's the question. It is money that I want, why should not I marry the money when 'tis offer'd me? I have a license and all, it is but razing out one name, and putting in another. There's no playing with a man's fortune! I am resolved: I were truly mad an I would not!--Well, come your ways, follow me, an you will be mad, I'll shew you a warrant!
