PURSE. This is the captain of brave citizens; The Agamemnon of all merry Greeks. A Stukeley or a Sherley for his spirit,[175] Bounty and royalty to men-at-arms. BLANK. You give this as your deed? SPEND. Marry do I, sir. BLANK. Pleaseth this gentleman to be a witness? SPEND. Yes, marry shall he. Pursenet, your hand. PURSE. My hand is at thy service, noble Brutus. SPEND. There's for your kindness, Master Blank. BLANK. I thank you, sir. SPEND. There's for your pains. [_To_ SERVANT.] SER. I thank you, sir. [_Exit._] BLANK. I'll take my leave of you.[176] SPEND. What, must you be gone too, Master Blank? BLANK. Yes, indeed, sir; I must to the Exchange. [_Exit._ SPEND. Farewell to both. Pursenet, Take that twenty pounds, and give it Mistress Sweatman: Bid her pay her landlord and apothecary, And let her butcher and her baker stay; They're honest men, and I'll take order with them. PURSE. The butcher and the baker then shall stay. SPEND. They must, till I am somewhat stronger pursed. PURSE. If this be all, I have my errand perfect. [_Exit_ PURSENET. SPEND. Here, sirrah, here's for balls; there's for yourself. BOY. I thank your worship. SPEND. Commend me to your mistress. [_Exit._ BOY. I will, sir. In good faith, 'tis the liberall'st gentleman that comes into our court: why, he cares no more for a shilling than I do for a box o' th' ear, God bless him. [_Exit._ _Enter_ STAINES _gallant_, LONGFIELD, _and a_ SERVANT. STAINES. Sirrah, what o'clock is't? SER. Past ten, sir. STAINES. Here will not be a gallant seen this hour. SER. Within this quarter, sir, and less: they meet here as soon as at any ordinary in th' town. STAINES. Hast any tobacco? SER. Yes, sir. STAINES. Fill. LONG. Why, thou report'st miracles, things not to be believed: I protest to thee, hadst thou not unripped thyself to me, I should never have known thee. STAINES. I tell you true, sir; I was so far gone, that desperation knocked at my elbow, and whispered news to me out of Barbary.[177] LONG. Well, I am glad so good an occasion stay'd thee at home. And may'st thou prosper in thy project, and go on With best success of thy invention. STAINES. False dice say amen; for that's my induction: I do mean to cheat to-day without respect of persons. When saw'st thou Will Rash? LONG. This morning at his chamber; he'll be here. STAINES. Why, then, do thou give him my name and character, for my aim is wholly at my worshipful master. LONG. Nay, thou shalt take another into him: one that laughs out his life in this ordinary, thanks any man that wins his money: all the while his money is losing, he swears by the cross of this silver; and, when it is gone, he changeth it to the hilts of his sword.
