_Ingine_, you hope o’ your halfe piece? ’Tis there, Sir.
Be gone. Friend _Manly_, who’s within here? fixed?
Wittipol _knocks his friend o’ the breſt_.
MAN. I am directly in a fit of wonder
What’ll be the iſſue of this conference!
WIT. For that, ne’r vex your ſelfe, till the euent. 5
How like yo’ him?
MAN. I would faine ſee more of him.
WIT. What thinke you of this?
MAN. I am paſt degrees of thinking.
Old _Africk_, and the new _America_,
With all their fruite of Monſters cannot ſhew
So iuſt a prodigie.
WIT. Could you haue beleeu’d, 10
Without your ſight, a minde ſo ſordide inward,
Should be ſo ſpecious, and layd forth abroad,
To all the ſhew, that euer ſhop, or ware was?
MAN. I beleeue any thing now, though I confeſſe
His _Vices_ are the moſt extremities 15
I euer knew in nature. But, why loues hee
The _Diuell_ ſo?
WIT. O S^r! for hidden treaſure,
Hee hopes to finde: and has propos’d himſelfe
So infinite a Maſſe, as to recouer,
He cares not what he parts with, of the preſent, 20
To his men of Art, who are the race, may coyne him.
Promiſe gold-mountaines, and the couetous
Are ſtill moſt prodigall.
MAN. But ha’ you faith,
That he will hold his bargaine?
WIT. O deare, Sir!
He will not off on’t. Feare him not. I know him. 25
One baſeneſſe ſtill accompanies another.
See! he is heere already, and his wife too.
MAN. A wondrous handſome creature, as I liue!
