The Poetaster
Rapier, lie there! and there, my hat and feather!
Draw my silk curtain to obscure the light,
Goose-quill and I must join awhile together:
Lady, forbear, I pray, keep out of sight!
Gall Pearl away, let one remove him hence!
Your shrieking parrot will distract my sense.
Would I were near the rogue that crieth, 'Black!'
'Buy a new almanac!' doth vex me too:
Forbid the maid she wind not up the jack!
Take hence my watch, it makes too much ado!
Let none come at me, dearest friend or kin:
Whoe'er it be I am not now within.
