H:"The New Royal Exchange" (1670).
W:I'll go no more to the New Exchange, there is no room at all
W:It is
W:so throng'd and crowded by the gallants of Whitehall

W:Come, my new Courtiers,
W:what d'ye lack?  Good consciences?  I you do
W:Here's long and wide,
W:the only wear, the straight will trouble you
