[489] We have here another instance to show that formerly Jews and usurers were furnished with large false noses on the stage. [490] _I'll, that I will_ is the reading of the copies of 1626 and 1631. [All the copies, _I'll_, apparently for _ay_.] [491] [Old copies, _Such is his raiment._] [492] Laurentia aad Heigham have been talking apart. ACT II., SCENE I. _Enter_ PISARO, DELION _the Frenchman_, VANDAL _the Dutchman,[493] and other Merchants, at several_ _doors_. PIS. Good morrow, Master Strangers.[494] STRAN. Good morrow, sir. PIS. This (loving friends) hath thus emboldened me; For, knowing the affection and the love, Master Vandallo, that you bear my daughter. Likewise, and that with joy, considering too, You, Monsieur Delion, would fain despatch, I promise you (methinks, the time did fit, And does by'r Lady too, in mine advice) This day to clap a full conclusion up: And therefore made I bold to call on you, Meaning (our business done here at the Burse) That you at mine entreaty should walk home, And take in worth such viands as I have; And then we would, and so I hope we shall, Loosely tie up the knot that you desire, But for a day or two, and then Church rites Shall sure conform, confirm, and make all fast. VAN. Seker, mester Pisaro, me do so groterly danck you, dat you mack me so sure of de wench, dat it can niet danck you genough. DEL. Monsieur Pisaro, mon pere, mon vader! O, de grande joy you give me! ecoute, me sal go home to your house, sal eat your bacon, sal eat your beef, and sal tack de wench, de fine demoisella. PIS. You shall, and welcome; welcome as my soul. But were my third son, sweet Alvaro, here, We would not stay at the Exchange[495] to-day; But hie us home, and there end our affairs. _Enter_ MOORE _and_ TOWERSON. MOORE. Good day, Master Pisaro. PIS. Master Moore, marry, with all my heart, good morrow, sir. What news? What news? MOORE. This merchant here, my friend, would speak with you. TOW. Sir, this jolly south-west wind with gentle blast Hath driven home our long-expected ships, All laden with the wealth of ample Spain; And but a day is pass'd, since they arriv'd Safely at Plymouth, where they yet abide. PIS. Thanks is too small a guerdon for such news. How like you this news, friends? Master Vandal, Here's somewhat towards for my daughter's dowry: Here's somewhat more than we did yet expect. TOW. But hear you, sir; my business is not done: From these same ships I did receive these lines, And there enclos'd this same bill of exchange, To pay at sight, if so you please accept it.
