Master Bowser, with this happy news, You have revived two from the gates of death, This is that Banister, and this his wife. Sir I am glad my fortune is so good, To bring such tidings as may comfort you. You have given life unto a man deemed dead, For by these news, my life is newly bred. Thanks to my God, next to my Sovereign King, And last to you that these good hopes doth bring. The hundred pound I must receive as due For finding Bagot, I freely give to you. And Master Banister, if so you please, I'll bear you company, when you cross the Seas. If it please you sir, my company is but mean, Stands with your liking, I'll wait on you. I am glad that all things do accord so well: Come Master Bowser, let us in to dinner: And mistress Banister, be merry woman, Come after sorrow now, let's cheer your spirit, Knaves have their due, and you but what you merit. Call ye this seeing of fashions? Marry would I had staid at Putney still, O Master Thomas, we are spoiled we are gone. Content thee man, this is but fortune. Fortune, a plague of this Fortune makes me go wet-shod, the rogues would not leave me a shoe to my feet, for my hose they scorned them with their heels, but for my Doublet and Hat, O Lord they embraced me, and unlaced me, and took away my clothes, and so disgraced me. Well Hodge, what remedy? What shift shall we make now? Nay I know not, for begging I am nought, for stealing worse: by my troth I must even fall to my old trade, to the Hammer and the Horse heels again: but now the worst is, I am not acquainted with the humour of the horses in this country, whether they are not coltish, given much to kicking, or no, for when I have one leg in my hand, if he should up and lay other of my chops, I were gone, there lay I, there lay Hodge. Hodge I believe thou must work for us both. O Master Thomas, have not I told you of this, have not I many a time and often, said Tom, or Master Thomas, learn to make a horse-shoe, it will be your own another day: this was not regarded. Hark you Thomas, what do you call the fellows that robbed us. The Bandetto. The Bandetto do you call them, I know not what they are called here, but I am sure we call them plain thieves in England, O Thomas that we were now at Putney, at the ale there. Content thee man, here set up these two bills, And let us keep our standing on the bridge: The fashion of this country is such, If any stranger be oppressed with want, To write the manner of his misery, And such as are disposed to succour him, Will do it, what hast thou set them up?
