TOSS.  Hold thy peace, Dick, it cannot still keep at this stint: 
We are now lighted upon such a mint,
As (follow it well) I dare warrant thee,
Thy turn shall be served in every degree.

DAND.  Dick boy, mine own boy, how dost thou? what cheer?

DICER.  What, Dandeline, mine hostess, what make you here?

DAND.  I came of purpose to inquire for thee.

DICER.  And I came of purpose to seek Prodigality.

DAND.  What, he you told me of? indeed, is it he?

DICER.  Ay, of my fidelity.

DAND.  A good boy, of mine honesty. 
But when come ye?

DICER.  As soon as I can find him.

DAND.  Seek him, good Dick, and find him speedily: 
For this, I assure ye, your supper is ready.

DICER.  Go home before, make all things very fine.

DAND.  I will.  Farewell.

DICER.  Farewell.

DAND.  Farewell to Tomkin, too?

TOSS.  Farewell, sweet Dandaline.

DAND.  But, hear ye? bring him.

DICER.  Who?

DAND.  Tush, a God’s name, you know who! 
I mean the gentleman.

DICER.  Go to, go to. [DANDALINE exit. 
Tom, now to the purpose where first we began.

TOSS.  Cast care away, Dick; I’ll make thee a man.

DICER.  A gospel in thy mouth, Tom, for it never went worse. 
Master Money hath left me never a penny in my purse.

TOSS.  ’Twill be better, Dick, shalt see, very shortly.

DICER.  I pray thee, tell me is this brave Prodigality,
So full of money as he is said to be?

TOSS.  Full, quotha? he is too full, I promise thee.

DICER.  And will he lash it out so lustily?

TOSS.  Exceedingly, unreasonably, unmeasureably.

DICER.  Then may such mates as we, that be so bare,
Hope some way or other to catch a share.

TOM.  Assure thyself that; but whist, he cometh here: 
Let’s entertain him with familiar cheer.

DICER.  In order, then, bravely.

[Retire.

SCENE III.

    Enter PRODIGALITY, with MONEY.

PROD.  How is’t, my sweet Money, shall we be lusty now?

MON.  Be as lusty as you will.  I’ll be as lusty as you.

PROD.  Who lacks money, ho! who lacks money? 
But ask and have:  money, money, money!

DICER.  Sir, here be they that care not for your money,
So much as for your merry company.

PROD.  And company is it I seek assuredly.

TOSS.  Then here be companions to fit your fantasy,
And at all assays to answer your desire: 
To go, to run, to stay, to do, as you require.

PROD.  What can I wish more? well then, I pray,
What sports, what pastimes, shall we first assay?

TOSS.  Marry, first, sir, we both pray you heartily,
To take a poor supper with us here hard by,
Where we will determine by common consent,
What pastimes are fittest for us to frequent.
