I pray you heartily let us stay there, and we will be content to give you ten pound a year, which is the old rent. Ten pound a year, that were a state jest, If I should take the old rent to follow your request: Nay after forty pound a year you shall have it for a quarter, And you may think too, you are befriended in this matter: But no longer than for a quarter to you i'll set it, For my lady perhaps will sell it, or to some other will let it. Well, sith we are driven to this hard and bitter drift, We accept it, and are contended to make bare and hard shift. Then get you gone, and see at a day your rent be ready. We must have patience perforce, seeing there is no remedy. What a fool was I to let it so reasonable? I might so well have had after threescore, as such a trifle, For seeing they were distressed they would have given largely. I was a right sot, but i'll be overseen no more believe me. Ah my good a friend M. Usury, be my trot you be very well met: Me be much beholding to you for your good will, me be in your debt. But a me take a your part so mich against a scal shurle called Hospitality: Did speak against you, and says you bring good honest men to beggary. I thank you sir, did he speak such evil of me as now you say? I doubt not but to reward him for his treachery one day. But I pray tell a me how fare a my lady all dis while? Marie well sir, and here she comes if myself I do not beguile. What signior Mercadore, I have not seen you this many a day, I marvel what is the cause you kept so long away Shall me say to you Madama, dat me have had such business for you in hand, For send away good commodities out of dis little country England: Me have now sent over brass, copper pewter, and many other ting, And for dat me sall ha' for Gentlewoman's fine trifles, that great profit will bring. I perceive you have been mindful of me, for which I thank ye: But Usury tell me, how have you sped in that you went about? Indifferently Lady, you need not to doubt, I have taken possession, and because they were destitute, I have let it for a quarter my tale to conclude. Marry I have a little raised the rent, but it is but after forty pound by the year: But if it were to let now, would let it more dear. Indeed it is but a trifle, it makes no matter, I force it not greatly, being but for a quarter.
