whom the grossest cheat wou'd pass, much more this, which shall carry so seeming a Truth in't, he being clapt under hatches in the Dark, we'll wind round a League or two at Sea, turn in, and land at this Garden, Sir, of yours, which we'll pretend to be a _Seraglio_, belonging to the _Grand Seignior_; whither, in this hot part o'th' year, he goes to regale himself with his She-Slaves. _Car_. But the distance of Place and Time allow not such a Fallacy. _Guz_. Why he never read in's life; knows neither Longitude nor Latitude, and _Constantinople_ may be in the midst of _Spain_ for any thing he knows; besides, his Fear will give him little leisure for thinking. _Ant_. But how shall we do with the Seamen of this other Gally? _Guz_. There's not above a Dozen, besides the Slaves that are chain'd to the Oar, and those Dozen, a Pistole apiece wou'd not only make 'em assist in the design, but betray it in earnest to the _Grand Seignior_; --for them I'll undertake, the Master of it being _Pier de Sala_, your Father's old Servant, Sir.

Coming to give you the good morrow, Sir; And shew you how well he looks the Part. _Car_. Good day to your Lordship-- [_Bowing_. _Guil_. Morrow, morrow, Friend. _Ant_. My Lord, your most humble Servant. _Guil_. Thank you, Friend, thank you; Page, Boy--what's a-Clock, Sirrah? _Page_. About Eight, my Lord. _Ant_. Your Lordship's early up. _Guil_. My Stomach was up before me, Friend; and I'm damnably hungry; 'tis strange how a man's Appetite increases with his Greatness; I'll swinge it away now I'm a Lord,--then I will wench without Mercy; I'm resolv'd to spare neither Man, Woman, nor Child, not I; hey, Rogues, Rascals, Boys, my Breakfast, quickly, Dogs--let me see, what shall I have now that's rare? _Page_. What will your Honour please to have? _Guil_. A small rasher of delicate Bacon, Sirrah--of about a Pound, or two, with a small Morsel of Bread--round the Loaf, d'ye hear, qu
