, he comes too late--therefore bring me first my long
Sword, and then the Gentleman.
[_Exit_ Ralph.
_Bear_. Pray, Sir, use mine, it is a travell'd Blade I can assure you,
Sir.
Sir _Feeb_. I thank you, Sir.
_Enter_ Ralph _and_ Bellmour _disguised, gives him a Letter,
he reads_.
How--my Nephew!
_Francis Fainwou'd_! [_Embraces him_.
_Bel_. I am glad he has told me my Christian name.
Sir _Feeb_. Sir _Cautious_, know my Nephew--'tis a young _St. Omers_
Scholar--but none of the Witnesses.
Sir _Cau_. Marry, Sir, and the wiser he; for they got nothing by't.
_Bea_. Sir, I love and honour you, because you are a Traveller.
Sir _Feeb_. A very proper young Fellow, and as like old _Frank
Fainwou'd_ as the Devil to the Collier; but, _Francis_, you are come
into a very leud Town, _Francis_, for Whoring, and Plotting, and
Roaring, and Drinking; but you must go to Church, _Francis_, and avoid

Sir _Cau_. Prudently thought on, Sir, I'll wait on you.--
[_Ex. Sir_ Feeble, _and Sir_ Cautious.
_Bea_. You are a Traveller, I understand.
_Bel_. I have seen a little part of the World, Sir.
_Bea_. So have I, Sir, I thank my Stars, and have performed most of my
Travels on Foot, Sir.
_Bel_. You did not travel far then, I presume, Sir?
_Bea_. No, Sir, it was for my diversion indeed; but I assure you, I
travell'd into _Ireland_ a-foot, Sir.
_Bel_. Sure, Sir, you go by shipping into _Ireland_?
_Bea_. That's all one, Sir, I was still a-foot, ever walking on the
Deck.
_Bel_. Was that your farthest Travel, Sir?
_Bea_. Farthest--why, that's the End of the World--and sure a Man can
go no farther.
_Bel_. Sure, there can be nothing worth a Man's Curiosity?
_Bea_. No, Sir, I'll assure you, there are the Wonders of the World,
Sir: I'll hint you this one. There is a Harbour w
