eaten
The first or last feete, and the perfect parts 35
Of his unmatched poeme sinke beneath,
With upright gasping and sloath dull as death:
So the unprofitable things of life,
And those we cannot compasse, we affect;
All that doth profit and wee have, neglect, 40
Like covetous and basely getting men
That, gathering much, use never what they keepe;
But for the least they loose, extreamely weepe.

_Mail._ This prettie talking, and our horses walking
Downe this steepe hill, spends time with equall profit. 45

_Cler._ Tis well bestow'd on ye; meate and men sicke
Agree like this and you: and yet even this
Is th'end of all skill, power, wealth, all that is.

_Chal._ I long to heare, sir, how your mistresse takes this.

_Enter Aumal with a cabinet._

_Mail._ Wee soone shall know it; see Aumall return'd. 50

_Aumale._ Ease to your bands, sir!

_Cler._ Welcome, worthy friend!

_Chal._ How tooke his noblest mistresse your sad message?

_Aum._ As great rich men take sodaine povertie.
I never witness'd a more noble love,
Nor a more ruthfull sorrow: I well wisht 55
Some other had beene master of my message.

_Mail._ Y'are happy, sir, in all things, but this one
Of your unhappy apprehension.

_Cler._ This is to mee, compar'd with her much mone,
As one teare is to her whole passion. 60

_Aum._ Sir, shee commends her kindest service to you,
And this rich cabinet.

_Chal._ O happy man!
This may enough hold to redeeme your bands.

_Cler._ These clouds, I doubt not, will be soone blowne over.

_Enter Baligny, with his discharge: Renel, and others._

_Aum._ Your hope is just and happy; see, sir, both 65
In both the looks of these.

_Baligny._ Here's a discharge
For this your prisoner, my good Lord Lieutenant.

_Mail._ Alas, sir, I usurpe that stile, enforc't,
And hope you know it was not my aspiring.

_Bal._ Well, sir, my wrong aspir'd past all mens hopes. 70

_Mail._ I sorrow for it, sir.

_Renel._ You see, sir, there
Your prisoners discharge autenticall.

_Mail._ It is, sir, and I yeeld it him with gladnesse.

_Bal._ Brother, I brought you downe to much good purpose
