Sebast. They get to shore apace, they'll flie as fast
When once they find the place; what's that which swims there?
Ni. A strong young man, Sir, with a handsom woman.
Hanging about his neck.
Sebast. That shews some honor;
May thy brave charity, what e'er thou art,
Be spoken in a place that may renown thee,
And not dye here.
Nicus. The Boat it seems turn'd over,
So forced to their shifts; yet all are landed:
They're Pirates on my life.
Sebast. They will not rob us;
For none will take out misery for riches:
Come Cosin, let's descend, and try their pities;
If we get off, a little hope walks with us;
If not, we shall but load this wretched Island
With the same shadows still, that must grow shorter. [Ex.
Enter Albert, Aminta, Tibalt, Morillat, Lamure, Master, Franvile, Surgeon, Sailors.
Tib. Wet come ashore my mates, we are safe arrived yet.
Mast. Thanks to heavens goodness, no man lost;
The Ship rides fair too, and her leaks in good plight.
Alb. The weathers turn'd more courteous;

Alas, how weak she is, and wet!
Amint. I am glad yet, I scap'd with life;
Which certain, noble Captain, next to heavens goodness,
I must thank you for, and which is more,
Acknowledge your dear tenderness, your firm love
To your unworthy Mistriss, and recant too
(Indeed I must) those harsh opinions,
Those cruel unkind thoughts, I heapt upon ye;
Farther than that, I must forget your injuries.
So far I am ti'd, and fet'red to your service,
Believe me, I will learn to love.
