He shall give you a halter, knave and villain that thou art. I know I am a knave, but no villain. I am your servant. I neither take thee for my servant, nor for my friend. Why? wherein have I offended you sir? Hence to the gallows knave. What soft and fair sir, I pray you, I praesequar, you are mine elder. I will be even with you, be you sure, honest man. Why sir? I never offended you. Well, I will teach you: out of my sight knave. What? I am no dog, I would you witted. Pratest thou yet villain? I will make thee. What will you make me? I see well the more a man doth suffer you, the worse you are. Ah villain, if it were not for this gentleman, I would tell you what I Villain? nay I am as honest a man as you. Thou liest in thy throat knave. O sir, stay your wisdom. What will you fight? marie come on. Well knave, I will meet with you another time, go your way. Even when you list sir, I will be your man. And if I be not even with thee, call me out. Nay by the Mass, all is one, I care not, for I have nothing: if I had either lands or goods, peradventure you would pull me into the law. Sir, I perceive your patience is moved. This villain: but let him go, I will see him punished as he hath deserved. Now to the matter, how said you? This fellow hath disquieted you sir, peradventure you would be loath to be troubled any further. Not a whit, say on, & let him go with a vengeance. I say, let them sand at my charge to Cathanea. Yea I remember that well, & it is the surest way as this case requireth: but tell me, how is he your servant? and how come you by him? inform me fully in the matter. I will tell you sir: when the Turks won Otranto. O, you put me in remembrance of my mishaps. How sir? For I was driven among the rest out of the town (it is my native country) and there I lost more than ever I shall recover again while I live. Alas, a pitiful case by S. Anne. Well, proceed. At that time (as I said) there were certain of our country that scoured those costs upon the seas, with a good bark; well appointed for the purpose, and had espial of a Turkey vessel that came laden from thence with great abundance of riches. And peradventure most of mine.
