     Ama.

     You know my easie nature.

     Bar.

Go get ye in:  you see she has been angry: 
Forbear her sight a while and time will pacify;
And learn to be more bold.

Lean.

I would I could,
I will do all I am able.

[Exit.

Bar.

Do Leandro,
We will not part, but friends of all hands.

Lop.

Well said,
Now ye are reasonable, we can look on ye.

     Bar.

     Ye have jerkt me:  but for all that I forgive ye,
     Forgive ye heartily, and do invite ye
     To morrow to a Breakfast, I make but seldom,
     But now we will be merry.

     Ars.

     Now ye are friendly,
     Your doggedness and niggardize flung from ye. 
     And now we will come to ye.

     Bar.

     Give me your hands, all;
     You shall be welcome heartily.

Lop.

We will be,
For we’ll eat hard.

Bar.

The harder, the more welcome,
And till the morning farewell; I have business.

[Exit.

Mil.

Farewel good bountiful Bartolus, ’tis a brave wench,
A suddain witty thief, and worth all service: 
Go we’ll all go, and crucifie the Lawyer.

Die.

I’le clap four tire of teeth into my mouth more
But I will grind his substance.

     Ars.

     Well Leandro,
     Thou hast had a strange Voyage, but I hope
     Thou rid’st now in safe harbour.

     Mil.

     Let’s go drink, Friends,
     And laugh aloud at all our merry may-games.

     Lop.

     A match, a match, ’twill whet our stomachs better.

[Exeunt.

     Actus Quintus.  Scena Prima.

     Enter Violante and Servant.

     Ser.

     Madam, he’s come. [Chair and stools out.

     Viol.

     ’Tis well, how did he look,
     When he knew from whom you were sent? was he not startled? 
     Or confident? or fearful?

     Ser.

     As appear’d
     Like one that knew his fortune at the worst,
     And car’d not what could follow.

     Viol.

     ’Tis the better,
     Reach me a Chair:  so, bring him in, be careful
     That none disturb us:  I will try his temper,
     And if I find him apt for my employments,

     Enter Jamie, Servant.

     I’le work him to my ends; if not, I shall
     Find other Engines.

     Ser.

     There’s my Lady.

     Viol.

     Leave us.
