Then you'll not have her sir? No as I hope to live in peace. Why be't so, be't so, confusion cannot come in a more fitter time on all of us: O bountiful Croesus, how fine thy shadow hath devoured my substance. Good my Lord promise him to marry his daughter, or a will be mad presently, though you never intend to have her. Well father Hog, though you are undone, your daughter shall not be, so long as a lord's can stand her in any stead: come you shall with me to my Lord and father, whose warrants we will have for the apprehending of all suspicious lives, and though the labour be infinite, you must consider your loss is so. Come, i'll do any thing to gain my gold. Till which be had, my fare will be but cold. Now Mr. Parson we will no further trouble you, and for the tying of our true love knot, here's a small amends. 'tis more than due sir, yet i'll take it all, Should kindness be despised, good will would fall. Unto a lower ebb, should we detest The grateful givers gift, It's true indeed, good morrow honest Parson. Yet if you please, sir Iohn will back surrender The overplus of what you now did tender. O by no means, I pray thee friend, good-morrow. Why if you please Sir Iohn to me restore, The overplus i'll give it to the poor. O pardon sir, for by our worships leave, We ought to give from whence we do receive. Why then to me sir Iohn. To all a kind good morrow. A most fine Vicar, there was no other means to be rid of him: but why are you so sad Rebecka? To think in what estate my father is? When he beholds that he is merely gulled. Nay be not grieved, for that which should rather give you cause of content, for 'twill be a means to make him abandon his avarice, and save a soul almost incurable: but now to our own affairs, this marriage of ours must not yet be known lest it breed suspicion, we will bring you Rebeck a unto Atlas his house, whilst we two go unto the old Lord Welthies, having some acquaintance with his son in law Carracus, who I understand is there, where no question but we shall find your father proclaiming his loss, thither you shall come some what after us, as it were to seek him, where I doubt not but so to order the matter, that I will receive you as my wife, from his own hands. May it so happy prove. Amen say I, for should our last trick be known, great Croesus' shade would have a conjured time on't. 'tis true, his Castle of adamant would scarce hold him: but come this will be good cause for laughter hereafter. Then we'll relate how this great bird was pulled, Of his rich feathers, and most finely gulled.
