Musi. Gentlemen that sent us to give the Lady a good morrow.

Val. O I know them, come boy sing the song I taught you,
And sing it lustily, come forward Gentlemen, you’re welcom,
Welcom, now we are all friends, go get the Priest ready,
And let him not be long, we have much business: 
Come Frank, rejoyce with me, thou hast got the start boy,
But I’le so tumble after, come my friends lead,
Lead cheerfully, and let your Fiddles ring boyes,
My follies and my fancies have an end here,
Display the morgage Lance, Merchant I’le pay you,
And every thing shall be in joynt again.

Unc. Afore, afore.

Val. And now confess, and know, Wit without Money, sometimes gives the blow. [Exeunt.
