no good from you but Prayers to Heaven? _Fran_. Oh Lord, Prayers to Heaven! Why, I hope, Captain, we have no need to think of Heaven. _Capt_. At your own Peril be it then, Signior, for the _Turks_ are coming upon us. _Fran_. Oh Lord, Turks, Turks! [_Ex_. Cap. _Guil_. Turks, oh, is that all? [_Falls to eating_. _Fran_. All--why, they'll make Eunuchs of us, my Lord, Eunuchs of us poor men, and lie with all our Wives. _Guil_. Shaw, that's nothing, 'tis good for the Voice.--how sweetly we shall sing, ta, la, ta la la, ta la, &c. _Fran_. Ay, 'twill make you sing another note, I'll warrant you. _Enter a Seaman_. _Sea_.

Shall I submit to Fetters, and see my Mistress ravish'd by any great _Turk_ in Christendom, and not fight? _Isa_. I'd rather be ravish'd a thousand times, than you should venture your Person. [_Seamen shout within_. _Fran_. Ay, I dare swear. _Enter Seaman_. _Sea_. Ah, Sirs, what mean you? Come on the Deck for shame. _Ant_. My Lord, let us not tamely fall, there's danger near. [_Draws_. _Guil_. Ay, ay, there's never smoke, but there's some fire--Come, let's away--ta la, tan ta la, la la, &c. [Draws. [Exit _singing, and_ Antonio _and_ Pet. _Fran_. A Pox of all Lords, I say, you must be janting in the Devil's name, and God's dry Ground wou'd not serve your turn. [_Shout here_. Oh, how they thunder! What shall
