ut for thee,
Owld fornicator, that jad'st mee at home
And yet can fend [?] a yonge colt's toothe abroad,
Ould as I am myne eyes are not so dimme
But can discerne this without spectacles.
Hence from my gate, you syrens com from sea,
Or as I lyve I'l washe your painteinges off
And with hotte skaldeinge water instantly.
[_Exit_.

_Godfr_. Nay then, sweeteharts, you canott staye, you have had could
interteinment.

_Pal_. The land's to us as dreadfull as the seas,
For wee are heare, as by the billows, tost
From one feare to another.

_Ashb_. Pretty sowles,
Despyer not you of comfort; I'l not leive you
To the least danger till som newes returne
From him that undertakes your patronadge.
You, syrrah, usher them into the fryary,
Whence none dares force them. I have a cross wyfe you see,
And better you then I take sanctuary.

_Scrib_. Wee will be sweyde by you as one in whome
Wee yet have fownd all goodnes.

_Ashb_. Leive them theere
To safety, then returne.

_Ashb_. Thanks, good frend.

_Clown_. But, syr, is this your servant.[129]

_Ashb_. Yes, I acknowledge him;
And thou I thinke belongst to Mr _Raphael_,
Imployde about these women.

_Clown_. Yes I acknowledge it; but you are sure hee's yours?

_Clown_. Then heare mee speake.

_Clown_. In this you doo but justyce, I pray tell mee[131] ... Sea, is
this a fishe or no, or if a fishe what fishe do you call it (peace you).

_Ashb_. It is no fishe nor fleshe.

_Clowne_. Nor good redd herringe--fisherman, y'r gone.
