Sea. Whatsoever she be, here’s to her health, noble colonel, both with cap and knee.
Pe. Thanks, kind Captain Seagull, she’s one I love dearly, and must not be known till we be free from all that know us. And so, gentlemen, here’s to her health. 78
Ambo. Let it come, worthy colonel; we do hunger and thirst for it.
Pe. Afore heaven! you have hit the phrase of one that her presence will touch from the foot to the forehead, if ye knew it.
Sp. Why, then, we will join his forehead with her health, sir; and Captain Scapethrift, here’s to ’hem both.
Enter Security and Bramble.
Sec. See, see, Master Bramble, ’fore heaven! their voyage cannot but prosper; they are o’ their knees for success to it!
Br. And they pray to god Bacchus. 90
Sec. God save my brave colonel, with all his tall captains and corporals. See, sir, my worshipful learned counsel, Master Bramble, is come to take his leave of you.
Pe. Worshipful Master Bramble, how far do you draw us into the sweet-briar of your kindness! Come, Captain Seagull, another health to this rare Bramble, that hath never a prick about him.
