And have it safe?

_Mild_. I'l give a hundred crownes.

_Fish_. Tush, offer me a sowse[154] but not in th'eare;
I will barr that afore hand.

_Mild_. And all safe,
I'l give thee then too hondred.

_Fish_. Offer me a cardeq!

A thousand crowns or nothinge.

_Mild_. Make all safe,
And I will give a thousand.

But thou wilt sweare to this.

_Mild_. Give mee myne othe.

_Fish_. If, when first I shall beehold
My leatheren bagge that's stuft with gould,
At sight thereof I paye not downe
To _Gripus_ every promist crowne--

All fortune had forsooke mee, but I see

Unrifled, naye untutcht, save a small caskett
With som few trifles of no valewe in't,
Yet to mee pretious, synce by them I have fownd
