ld offer, they are angrie, scarce to be reconcil'd again with
him: you shall not hear 'em ask one a cast doublet once in a year, which
is modesty befitting my poor friends: you see their _Wardrobe_, though
slender, competent: For shirts I take it, they are things worn out of
their remembrance. Lousie they will be when they list, and _mangie_, which
shows a fine variety: and then to cure 'em, a _Tanners_ limepit, which is
little charge, two dogs, and these; these two may be cur'd for 3. pence.
_Wid_. You have half perswaded me, pray use your pleasure: and my good
friends since I do know your diet, I'le take an order, meat shall not
offend you, you shall have Ale.
_Capt_. We ask no more, let it be, mighty Lady: and if we perish, then our
own sins on us.

_Elder Lo_. You are welcome, what's your will Sir?
_Wel_. Have you forgotten me?

_Wel_. You must Sir. I am that Gentleman you pleas'd to wrong, in your
