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.

[figure]

Thomas.

SOme Women are like to the Wine,

like the Sea, and like the Rocks;

But they yt 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 ye Wine, so will ye 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 ye VVine, more then ye 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.

[figure]

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 ye 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.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
