O what a blessedness am I bereft of! What pleasure has the least part of a minute Stolen from my eyes: methought I did embrace A Brother and a friend; and both Antonio. Blessed be those gentle powers that— What Evadne— have deceived my eyes, Take heed Evadne, worship not a dream, 'Tis of a smoky substance, and will shrink Into the compass of report; that 'twas: And not reward the labour of a word Were it substantial: Could I know but see That man, of men; i'd by my practice Of Religious prayers, add to the Calendar One Holiday, and keep it once a year. Behold Antonio. Brother. Brother. What earthquake shakes my heart, With what a speed she flew into his arms! Some power that hearkens to the prayer of virgins, Has been distilled to pity at my Fortunes; And made Evadne happy. Now my longing that was grown big, Is with your sight delivered of a joy, That will become a Giant; and overcome me. Welcome, thrice welcome brother. Ha, her brother! Fortune has bound me So much in their debts, I must despair to pay 'em: Twice has my life been by these twins of goodness Plucked from the hand of death; that fatal enmity Between our houses here shall end, Though my Father at his death commanded me To eternity of hatred: What tie binds stronger than Reprieve from death? Come hither friend; now brother, take her, Thou hast been a noble Tailor. Be moderate my joys, do not o'er whelm me Here take Aurelia, may you live happy: O Antonio this, this was the cause of my disguise; Sebastine could not win Evadne's love, But Giovanno did; come now to our father's Castle. Pardon me; there is a bar that does Concern my life forbids you as a friend, To think on going to any place But to, the tailor's house, which is not far: Come, as we go I will relate the cause. Do good brother. Go good Sebastiano. Sebastine is your Page, and bound to follow, Lead on. O noble temper I admire thee! may The world bring forth such Tailors every day. Come, come let's work; For if my guesses point the right, we shan't Work long. I care not how soon, for I have a notable Stomach to bread. Dost hear, I suspect that Courtier my master Brought in last night, to be the King; Which if it be bullies, all the bread in the Town shan't satisfy us, for we will eat Cum privilegio. Come let's have a device, a thing, a song Boy Come an air— 'Tis a merry life we live, All our work is brought unto us; Still are getting, never give; For their Clothes all men do woe us: Yet unkind they blast our Names, With aspersions of dishonour: For which we make bold with their Dames, When we take our measure on her. For which we, etc. Old Tay. You see the life we live, cease.

O what a blessednesse am I bereft of! What pleasure has the least part of a minute Stollen from my eyes: me thought I did imbrace A Brother and a friend; and both Antonio. Blest be those gentle powers that— What Evadne—have deceived my eyes, Take heede Evadne, worship not a dreame, 'Tis of a smoaky substance, and will shrinke Into the compasse of report; that 'twas: And not reward the labour of a word Were it substantiall: Could I know but see That man, of men; i'de by my practice Of Religious prayers, add to the Kalender One Holy-day, and keepe it once a yeare. Behold Antonio. Brother. Brother. What earth-quake shakes my heart, With what a speed she flew into his armes! Some power that hearkens to the prayer of virgins, Has bin distill'd to pitty at my Fortunes; And made Evadne happy. Now my longing that was growne big, Is with your sight delivered of a joy, That will become a Giant; and overcome me. Welcome, thrice welcome brother. Ha, her brother! Fortune has bound me So much in their debts, I must dispaire to pay 'em: Twice has my life bin by these twins of goodnesse Pluckt from the hand of death; that fatall emnity Betweene our houses here shall end, Though my Father at his death commanded me To eternity of hatred: What tye binds stronger then Reprieve from death? Come hither friend; now brother, take her, Thou hast bin a noble Tayler. Be moderate my joyes, doe not o're whelme me Here take Aurelia, may you live happy: O Antonio this, this was the cause of my disguise; Sebastine could not win Evadne's love, But Giovano did; come now to our fathers Castle. Pardon me; there is a barre that does Concerne my life forbids you as a friend, To thinke on going to any place But to, the Taylers house, which is not farre: Come, as we goe I will relate the cause. Doe good brother. Goe good Sebastiano. Sebastine is your Page, and bound to follow, Leade on. O noble temper I admire thee! may The world bring forth such Taylers every day. Come, come let's worke; For if my guesses point the right, we sha'nt Worke long. I care not how soone, for I have a notable Stomacke to bread. Dost heare, I suspect that Courtier my master Brought in last night, to be the King; Which if it be bullies, all the bread in the Towne sha'nt satisfie us, for we will eate Cum Privelegio. Come let's have a device, a thing, a song Boy Come an aire— 'Tis a merry life we live, All our worke is brought unto us; Still are getting, never give; For their Cloaths all men doe woe us: Yet unkind they blast our Names, With aspertions of dishonour: For which we make bold with their Dames, When we take our measure on her. For which wee, &c. Old Tay. You see the life we live, cease.
