THE HUMBLE PETITION OF NELL AND KATE, two sorrowful wives, .
. . [3 lines introduction]
May't please your Honours to ordain
That auctions be restor'd again,
To th'ancient form of evening sales--
In troth! good reason countervails
On our part, against the mode,
Practis'd of late, as far from good!
. . . [24 more lines, signed] N. and K.
