But hast thou such a budgett?

And new tooke from the sea. What woldst thou give
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.

_Fish_. Offer me a cardeq!
_Mild_. Three hondred, 4, nay fyve
So nothinge bee diminisht.
_Fish_. I will have
A thousand crowns or nothinge.
_Mild_. That growes deepe.
_Fish_. Not so deepe as the sea was.

And I will give a thousand.
_Fish_. Tis a match,
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--
Now say after mee.
May _Mildewe_ I in my best age.
_Mild_. May _Mildewe_ I in my best age.
_Fish_. Dy in some spittle, stocks or cage.[155]
