DRAWER

You shall have all things fit sir; please you have any more Wine. Said Like and honourable Captain; you shall have all you can command Sir. Exit Drawer. Sir Petronel, here's one of your water men come to tell you, it will be flood these three hours; and that will be dangerous going against the Tide: for the sky is over cast, & there was a Porcpisce, even now seen at London ̄ bridge, which is always the messenger of tempests, he says. You're in a proper taking indeed to take a Boat, espe pecially at this time of night, and against Tide and Tempest; They say yet, drunken men never take harm; this night will try the truth of that Proverb. Exit. How fare you now Lady? Comfort your self; That power that preserved you from death: can likewise defend you from infamy, howsoever you deserve it. Were not you one that took Boat, late this night, with a Knight, and other Gentlemen at Billingsgate? I am glad it was my good happen to come down thus far after you, to a house of my friends here in S. Kath'rines, since I am now happily made a mean to your rescue, from the ruthless tempest; which (when you took Boat) was so ex treame, and the Gentleman that brought you forth, so despe rate and unsober, that I feared long ere this I should hear of your shipwreck, and therefore (with little other reason) made thus far this way: And this I must tell you, since perhaps you may make use of it, there was left behind you at our Ta verne, brought by a Porter (hired by the young Gentleman that brought you) a Gentle woman's Gown, Hat, Stockings, and Shoes; which if they be yours, and you please to shift you, ta king a hard bed here, in this house of my friend, I will presently go fetch you. Come in Lady, and shift your self; resolve, that no thing, but your own pleasure, shall be used in your discovery. All shall be done you desire; and so, all the fortune you can wish for, attend you. Exit Draw.
