does not break that bond To bankrupt others; he makes you not a library Of large monopolie to cosen all men: _Subintelligitur_, he hates to deale With such portentious othes as furr his mouth In the deliverance. _Enter Jouanny_. _Ga_. Hee comes himselfe. _Jou_. Sir _Galeas_, if I mistake not? _Ga_. I weare my fathers name, sir. _Jou_. And tis a dignity to weare that name. Whatts your affairs in _Parma_? _Ga_. To visit you, sir. _Jou_. Gladness nor sorrow never paid mans debts. --Your pleasure, sir? _Ga_. The livery of my griefe: my fathers dead And mee hath made his poore executor. _Jou_. What? ought hee ten thousand duckets? Thy fathers face fixt in thy front Should be the paymaster tho from my hand. _Ga_. I doe not come to borrow: please yee read. _Jou_.

Why, looke yee, sir: When after many a storme and dreadfull blow Strooke from fire-belching clouds, bankrupt of life I have home return'd; when all my frends denide Their thresholds to mee, and my creditors Desir'd to sinke mee in a prisoners grave, Hee gav
