t mee proceede. This bagge, this knapsacke, or this
portmanteau hee woold make a fishe bycause tooke in his nett. Nowe,
syr, I com to you with this ould proverbe, all's not fishe that com's
to nett.--There you are, gone againe.

_Fisher_. But--

_Clowne_. No butt, nor turbutt. I suspect this budgett to be the
bawde's, in which are the discoveryes of this yonge woman's coontry
and parents. Now, syr, for their sakes, for my masters sake, for all
our sakes use the authority of a mayster to searche, and showe the
power you have over a servant to comand.

_Ashb_. Will hee or not, hee shall assent to that.

_Clowne_. A meere trick to undoo mee, ere I knwe
What I am wanting.

_Ashb_. Call in the damseles,
Intreate them fayrely heather; say wee hope
We shall have good newes for them.

_Fisher_. I will part with it only on this condition, that if there
bee nothinge in it which concernes them, the rest may returne to mee
unrifled and untutcht.

_Ashb_. Did it conteyne the valew of a myne
I clayme no part in it.

_Fisher_. Nor you?

_Clowne_. Nor I.

_Fisher_. By the contents of this budgett.

_Clowne_. I sweare.

_Ashb_. I vowe.

_Fisher_. Then there tak't to you, mayster, and once more
Good lucke on my syde!

_Enter Godfrey, usheringe in Palestra and Scribonia_.

_Palest_, You sent to speake with us?

_Ashb_. I did indeed,
Saye, knowe you this? y'have leave, surveigh it well.

_Pal_. This? knowe I this? oh, my _Scribonia_, see!
Yes, and by this alone may knowe myself.
Looke well upon't, deare syster; extasy
May dimme myne eyes, it cannot purblind thyne.

_Scrib_. Itt is the same, _Palestra_.

_Fisher_. Then sure I shall not bee the same man in the afternoone
that I was in the morninge.

_Scrib_. In this is a greate masse of wealthe included,
All that the bawde hath by corruption gott
In many a thrifty yeare.

_Fisher_. Comfort for mee.

_Ashb_. But tell me is there ought of yours included,
Which you may justly chalendge?

_Pal_. Of that gould
No not the valewe of one poor deneere:[132]
'Tis all base brokadge boathe of sinne and shame
Of which wee neare weare guilty; yet inclosed
There shall you find a cabinet of myne,
Where boathe my naturall parents you may see
In a small roome intended.

_Fisher_. An unatrall child thou art to trust thy naturall parents
into a leatheren bagge and leave them in the bottom of y'e sea.

_Pal_. Showe mee the caskett: if before you ope it
I do not name
