Clowne.  Easily I can, Syr.  But for another peice of the same stampe, I can bringe you to heare him, to feele him, to smell, to tast him, and to feede upon him your whole fyve senses.

Thomas.  There’s for thee, though I have no hope at all
To finde in France what I in Florens seeke. 
And though my brother have no child alyve,
As longe synce lost when I was rob’d of myne,
Yet for the namesake, to my other travells
I’l add this little toyle, though purposeles. 
I have about mee letters of Import
Dyrected to a merchant of that name
For whose sake (beeinge one to mee intyred)
I only crave to see the gentleman.

Clowne.  Beleeve mee Syr I never love to jest, with those that beforehand deale with me in earnest.  Will you follow mee?

Thomas.  Prooves hee my brother, and his dowghter found,
Lost by my want of care, (which canott bee
All reasons well considered) and I so happy
To bringe him newes of a recovered state,
Who to his foes so longe hathe been a prey,
I’d count my monthes and years but from this day.

[Exeunt.

And smelt, I thinke, som mare, backt (I perceavd
By the moone light) by a Fryar, in whose pursuite
Our new made horseman with his threatninge lance,
Pistolles, and rotten armor made such noyse
That th’other, frighted, clamours throughe the streetes
Nothinge but deathe and murder.
