An air that is the nursery of agues, Such agues (Master) that will shake mens souls out, Ne're stay for Possets, nor good old wives plasters. _Lop_. Gowts and dead Palsies. _Die_. The dead do's well at all times, Yet Gowts will hang an arse a long time (Master) The Pox, or English Surfeits if we had 'em; Those are rich marle, they make a Church-yard fat, And make the Sexton sing, they never miss, Sir. _Lop_. Then Wills and Funeral Sermons come in season, And Feasts that make us frolick. _Die_. Would I could see 'em. _Lop_. And though I weep i'th' Pulpit for my Brother, Yet (_Diego_) here I laugh. _Die_. The cause requires it. _Lop_. Since people left to die I am dunce, _Diego_. _Die_. 'Tis a strange thing, I have forgot to dig too. _Lea_. A pretious pair of youths! I must make toward'em. _Lop_. Who's that? look it seems he would speak to us. I hope a Marriage, or some Will to make, _Diego_. _Die_. My friend your business? _Lea_. 'Tis to that grave Gentleman; Bless your good learning, Sir. _Lop_. And bless you also, He bears a promising face, there's some hope toward. _Lea_. I have a Letter to your worship. _Lop_. Well Sir, From whence I pray you? _Lea_. From _Nova Hispania_, Sir, And from an ancient friend of yours. _Lop_. 'Tis well, Sir, 'Tis very well: the devil a-one I know there. _Die_. Take heed of a Snap, Sir, h'as a cozening countenance do not like his way. _Lop_. Let him goe forward. _Cantabit vacuus_, They that have nothing fear nothing, All I have to lose, _Diego_, is my learning, And when he has gotten that, he may put it in a Nut shell. LETTER READ. _Signior Lopez, Since my arrival from_ Cordova _to these parts, I have written divers Letters unto you, but as yet received no Answer of any_ (Good and very good) _And although so great a forgetfulness might cause a want in my due correspondence, yet the desire I have still to serve you must more prevail with me_ (Better and better: the devil a man know I yet) _and therefore with the present occasion offered I am willing to crave a continuance
