_Gra_. Then make me of thy counsell, and take my advice, for ile take no denyall; Ile not leave thee til the next new Almanackes be out of date; let him threaten the sharpest weather he can in Saint _Swithin_ week, or it snow on our Ladies face, ile not budge, ile be thy mid-wife til thou beest delivered of this passion. _Accut_. Partake then, and give me the beleefe; thinkst thou or knowst thou any of this opinion, that that mooving marish element, that swels and swages as it please the Moone, to be in bignes equall to that solid lump that brings us up? _Gra_.

Thou hast even given me satisfaction, but hast thou this by proofe? _Grac_. Not by my travels (so God helpe me): marrie, ile bring ye fortie Saylers, will sweare they have seene them. _Acut_. In truth! _Grac_. In truth or otherwise. _Acut_. Faith they are not unlike our land-monsters, else why should this _Maximilian_ Lord, for whom these shoots [_sic_] and noises befits thus, forsake his honours to sing a Lullabye? These seeming Saints, alluring evils, That make earth _Erebus_, and mortals devils-- _Gra_. Come, thou art Sea-sicke, and will not be well at ease, til thou hast tane a vomit: up with 't.
