Do you swear great Captain, have you seen a

And by that priviledge

And talk of our
affairs in peace.

Let me see,
Prethee let me

Hold ye villain, what thine own Husband?
Estifania:
Let mine own Husband

Be in’s
own wits, there, there’s a thousand duckets,
Who must provide
for you, and yet you’l kill me.

When will you
redeem your Jewels, I have pawn’d ’em,
You see for what,

And get as many
