Well sir I think you, I will go speak for you. Master Davy Dissimulation, what new acquaintance have ye gotten there? Such a one Madam that unto your state hath great care: And surely in my mind the Gentleman is worthy To be well thought on for his liberality, bounty, & great care to seek ye. Gentleman, you are heartily welcome, how are you called, I pray you tell us? madonna, me be a Mershant and be called senior Merkadorus. But I pray you tell me what Countryman. Me be Madonna an Italian. Yet let me trouble ye, I beseech ye whence came ye? For Serva voutra boungrace, me come form Turkey. Gramercy, but signior Mercadore dare you not undertake, Secretly to convey good commodities out of this country for my sake? madonna, me do for love of you tinke no pain too much, And to do any ting for you me will not grush: Me will a forsake a my father, Mother, King, Country, & more den dat, Me will lie and forswear myself for a quarter so much as my hat. What is dat for love of Lucar me dare or will not do: Me care not for all the world, the great Devil, nay make my God angry for you. You say well Mercadorus, yet Lucar by this is not thoroughly won But give ear and I will show what by thee must be done: Thou must carry over Wheat, Pease, Barley, Oats, and Fitches, and all kind of grain, Which is well sold beyond sea and bring such merchants great gain. Then thou must carry beside leather, tallow, beef, bacon, bell metal, and every thing, And for these good commodities, trifles into England thou must bring: As Bugles to make babbles, coloured bones, glass beads to make bracelets withal: For every day Gentlewomen of England do ask for such trifles from stall to stall, And you must bring more, as Amber, jet, Coral, Crystal, and every such babble, That is slight pretty and pleasant, they care not to have it profitable. And if they demand wherefore your wares and merchandise agree, You must lay jeat will take up a straw, Amber will make one fat, Coral will look pale when you be sick, and Crystal will staunch blade, So with lying, flattering, and glozing you must utter your ware, And you shall win me to your will, if you can deceitfully swear. Tinke ye not dat me have carried over corn, Ledar, Beef and Bacon too all 'tis while: And brought hither many babbles dese country men to beguile? Yes, shall me tell you Madonna, me and my countrymans have sent over, Bell metal for make ordinance, yea and ordinance itself beside, Day my country and other countries be so well furnished as dis country, and has never been spied.
