Would you have aught with me, I pray now speak. Sir, I think you understand our suit, By the repairing we have had to you: Gentlemen you know, must want no Coin, Nor are they slaves unto it, when they have: You may perceive our minds; What say you to't? Gentlemen all, I love you all: Which more to manifest, this afternoon Between the hours of two and three repair to me; And were it half the substance that I have, Whilst it is mine, 'tis yours to command. But Gentlemen, as I have regard to you, So do I wish you'll have respect to me: You know that all of us are mortal men, Subject to change and mutabilitie; You may, or I may, soon pitch o'er the Perch, Or so, or so, have contrary crosses: Wherefore I deem but mere equity, That some thing may betwixt us be to show. M. Pisaro, within this two months without fail, We will repay. God save you Gentlemen. Good morrow sin. What M. brown, the only man I wished for, Does your price fall? what shall I have these Clothes? For I would ship them straight away for Stoade: I do wish you my Money fore another. Faith you know my price sir, if you have them. You are to dear in sadness, master Heigham: You were about to say somewhat, pray proceed. Then this it was: those Lands that are not mortgaged God bless your worship. I must crave pardon; Oh sirrah, are you come? Hoyda, hoyda; What's the matter now; Sure, yonder fellow will be torn in pieces. What's he, sweet youths; that so they flock about: What old Pisaro tainted with this madness? Upon my life, 'tis somebody brings news; The Court breaks up, and we shall know their Counsel: Look, look, how busily they fall to reading. I am the last, you should have kept it still: Well, we shall see what news you bring with you; Our duty premised, and we have sent unto your worship Sack, seville Oils, Pepper, Barbery sugar, and such other commodities as we thought most requisite, we wanted money therefore we are fain to take up 200. l. of Master Towerson's man, which by a bill of Exchange sent to him, we would request your worship pay accordingly. You shall command sir, you shall command sir, The news here is, that the English ships, the Fortune, your ship, the adventure and good luck of London coasting along by Italy Towards Turkey, were set upon by to Spanish-galleys, what became of them we know not, but doubt much by reason of the weather's calmness. How be't six to one the weather calm, Now afore God who would not doubt their safety, A plague upon these Spanish-galley Pirates, Roaring Charybdis, or devouring Scylla, Were half such terror to the antic world, As these same antic Villains now of late, Have made the straits twixt Spain and Barbary. Now sir, what doth your factor's letters say?
