Let's find him first, he'll quickly give occasion, But take heed to yourself, and say I warned ye: He has a plaguy pate. That at my danger. ABoard, aboard, the wind stands fair. These call for passengers, I'll stay, & see What men they take aboard. A boat, a boat, a boat. Away then. Whether are ye bound friends? Down to the straits. Ha', 'tis not much unlike him. May I have passage for my money? And welcome too. 'Tis he, I know 'tis he now. Then merrily aboard, and noble friend Heaven's goodness keep thee ever, and all virtue Dwell in thy bosom Cellide, my last tears I leave behind me thus, a sacrifice, For I dare stay no longer to betray ye. Be not so quick sit: Saylors I here charge ye By virtue of this warrant, as you will answer it, For both your ship and Merchant I know perfectly: Lay hold upon this fellow. Fellow? I sir. No hand to sword sir, we shall master ye, Fetch out the manacles. I do obey ye: But I beseech ye sir, inform me truly How I am guilty. Ye have robbed a gentleman, One that ye are bound to for your life and being: Money and horse unjustly ye took from him, And something of more note, but for y'are a gentleman. It shall be so, and here I'll end all miseries, Since friendship is so cruel, I confess it, And which is more, a hundred of these robberies: This Ring I stole too from him: and this jewel The first and last of all my wealth: forgive me My innocence and truth, for saying I stole 'em, And may they prove of value but to recompense The thousand part of his love, and bread I have eaten. Pray see 'em rendered noble sir, and so I yield me to your power. Guard him toth' water, I charge you Sailors, there I will receive him, And back convey him to a justice. Come sir, Look to your neck, you are like to sail i'th' air now. COme quickly, quickly, quickly, paint me handsomely Take heed my nose be not in grain too, Come Doll, Doll, disen me. If you should play now Your devil's parts again. Yea and nay Dorothy. If ye do any thing, but that ye have sworn to, Which only is access. As I am a gentleman: Out with this hair Doll, handsomely. You have your breeches? I prithee away, thou knowst I am monstrous ticklish, What dost thou think I love to blast my buttocks? I'll plague ye for this roguery: for I know well What ye intent sir. On with my Muffler. Ye are a sweet Lady: come let's see you curtsy: What broke i'th' bum, hold up your head. Plague on't I shall he piss my breeches if I cowre thus, Come, am I ready. At all points, as like sir As if you were my Mistress. Who goes with ye.
