will ye walk Sir, For we presume you cannot pay the penalty. _Rut._ Row in the Gallies, after all this mischief? _2 Offi._ May be you were drunk, they'l keep you sober there. _Rut._ Tug at an Oar? you are not arrant rascals, To catch me in a pit-fall, and betray me? _Sul._ A lusty minded man. _Ja._ A wondrous able. _Sul._ Pray Gentlemen, allow me but that liberty To speak a few words with your prisoner, And I shall thank you. _1 Offi._ Take your pleasure Lady. _Sul._ What would you give that woman should redeem ye, Redeem ye from this slavery? _Rut._ Besides my service I would give her my whole self, I would be her vassal. _Sul._ She has reason to expect as much, considering The great sum she pays for't, yet take comfort, What ye shall do to merit this, is easie, And I will be the woman shall befriend ye, 'Tis but to entertain some handsome Ladies, And young fair Gentlewomen: you guess the way: But giving of your mind-- _Rut._ I am excellent at it: You cannot pick out such another living.
