Assure ye master Towerson, I cannot blame him, I warrant you it is no easy lose; How think you master Stranger ? by my faith sir, Ther's twenty Merchants will be sorry for it, That shall be partners with him in his lose. The Spanish-gallies have beset our ships, That lately were bound out for Siria. I know that I am looked for long ere this: Come master Towerson, let's walk along. A jolly Girl, sir. Faith sir, my house being full of Friends, Such as (I thank them) came to see my wife? I would request you, that for this one night, My daughter Susan might be lodged here. How now sirrah whats the news with you? He brings me word my wife is new fallen sick, And that my daughter cannot come to night: Or if she does, it will be very late. 'Tis well I thank you sir. Master Pisaro, follow mine advice: You see the Gentleman cannot escape, Then let him straight be wedded to your Daughter; So during life time, she shall hold his Land, When now (being nor kith nor kin to him) For all the deed of Gift, that he hath sealed, His younger Brother will enjoy the Land. Master Pisaro, shake off melancholy, When things are helpless, patience must be used. Mistress Susan More, who do you mean sir? You're very pleasant sir: but tell me this, When did you see her, that you speak of her? You are deceived, my Daughter lay not here, But watched with her sick mother all last night. Master Pisaro, do you flout your friends; I well perceive if I had troubled you, I should have had it in my dish ere now: Susan lie here? 'am sure when I came forth, I left her fast asleep in bed at home; 'Tis more then neighbourhood to use me thus. I say he lies (that say so) in his throat. Master Pisaro, 'tis in vain to fret, And fume, and storm, it little now avails: These Gentlemen have with your Daughters help, Outstripped you in your subtle enterprises: And therefore, seeing they are well descended, Turn hate to love, and let them have their Loves, Good day master Pisaro. This Merchant here my friend, would speak with you. Faith sir, I am come to trouble you, My wife this present night is brought to bed.
