Belonges to all us bawdes:  gentle and noble,

Gainst consciens they will spitt at us and doome us
Unto the post and cart.  Oh the coruptnes
Of these dissemblinge letchers!

To cheate mee and to keepe it to him selfe;
Which hee shall never doo, to prevent which

And to the Dolphins, whales or sharkes, doth grudge itt—­
