here I hope, my friends, I shall scape prison,
For all your cares to catch me.
_2 Mer._ You may please Sir
To think of your poor servants in displeasure,
Whose all they have, goods, moneys, are at your service.
_Gos._ I thank you,
When I have need of you I shall forget you:
You are paid I hope.
_All._ We joy in your good fortunes.
_Enter_ Van-dunck.
_Van-d._ Come Sir, come take your ease, you must go home
With me, yonder is one weeps and howls.
_Gos._ Alas how does she?
_Van-d._ She will be better soon I hope.
_Gos._ Why soon Sir?
_Van-d._ Why when you have her in your arms, this night
My boy she is thy wife.
_Gos._ With all my heart I take her.
_Van-d._ We have prepar'd, all thy friends will be there,
And all my Rooms shall smoak to see the revel;
Thou hast been wrong'd, and no more shall my service
Wait on the knave her Uncle, I have heard all,
All his baits for my Boy, but thou shalt have her;
Hast thou dispatch't thy business?
_Gos._ Most.
_Van-d._ By the mass Boy,
Thou tumblest now in wealth, and I joy in it,
Thou art the best Boy, that _Bruges_ ever nourish'd.
Thou hast been sad, I'le cheer thee up with Sack,
And when thou art lusty I'le fling thee to thy Mistris.
She'I hug thee, sirrah.
_Gos._ I long to see it,
I had forgot you: there's for you my friends:
You had but heavy burthens; commend my love
To my best love, all the love I have
To honest _Clause_, shortly I will thank him better. [_Exit._
_Hig._ By the mass a royal Merchant,
Gold by the handfull, here will be sport soon, _Prig._
_Prig._ It partly seems so, and here will I be in a trice.
_Hig._ And I boy,
Away apace, we are look'd for.
_Prig._ Oh these bak'd meats,
Me thinks I smell them hither.
_Hig._ Thy mouth waters. [_Exeunt._
SCENA IV.
_Enter_ Hubert, _and_ Hemskirk.
_Hub._ I Must not.
_Hem._ Why? 'tis in thy power to do it, and in mine
To reward thee to thy wishes.
_Hub._ I dare not, nor I will not.
_Hem._ Gentle Huntsman,
Though thou hast kept me hard: though in thy duty,
Which is requir'd to do it, th' hast used me stubbornly;
I can forgive thee freely.
_Hub._ You the Earls servant?
_Hem._ I swear I am near as his own thoughts to him;
Able to doe thee--
_Hub._ Come, come, leave your prating.
_Hem._ If thou dar'st but try.
_Hub._ I thank you heartily, you will be
The first man that will hang me, a sweet recompence,
I could do, but I do not say I will
