The streets are fit, and all the Companies Placed in their liveries 'gainst her return. But my Lord Maior, shall these ambassadors This day have audience? Admittance if not audience was granted, See therefore Trumpets, and all kinds of Music Be placed against her royal interview, The steps with Arras spread where she ascends, Besides give charge unto the shopkeepers To make their best shows in the upper rooms, Because the Queen intends to compass it. 'tis done my Lord. The Queen hath dined, the Trumpets sound already, And give note of her coming, bid the Waits And hautboys to be ready at an instant. Lester and Sussex, are those the Ambassadors? They are dread Sovereign, he that foremost stands, The Emperors, the second is the French, The last is the Florentine. We will receive them. Sussex and Lester place the ambassadors, We at our Court of Greenwich will dilate Further of these designs, where's Gresham? Your humble subject and servant. Our leisure now serves to survey your Burse, A goodly frame, a rare proportion.

Knowest thou not me Queen? than thou knowest no Bones a me Queen, I am Hobson, and old Hobson (body: By the Stocks, I am sure you know me. What is he Leicester, dost thou know this fellow? Gresham or you? May it please your Majesty, He is a rich substantial Citizen. Bones a me woman send to borrow money Of one you do not know, there's a new trick: Your Grace sent to me by a Pursuivant, And by a privy Seal to lend your Highness An hundred pound: I hearing that my Queen Had need of money, and thinking you had known me, Would needs upon the bearer, force two hundred: The Queen should have had three rather than fail, I by this hand Queen Bess, I am old Hobson A Haberdasher, and dwelling by the Stocks: When thou seest money with thy Grace is scant, For twice five hundred pound thou shalt not want. Upon my bond. No, no my Sovereign, I'll take thine own word without skrip or scroll. Thanks honest Hobson, as I am true maid, I'll see myself the money back repaid: Thou without grudging lendest, thy Purse is free, Honest as plain. A true well meaning man I warrant him. Your Majesty promised to give the name To my new Burse. Gresham we will. A Herald and a Trumpet. A Herald and a Trumpet.
