1 Tra. Why e'en talk to him as we do to one another.
2 Tra. Shall I? Why, so I will, then. Hem! Neighbour, we want a new Governor, Neighbour.
Esop. A new Governor, Friend?
2 Tra. Aye, Friend.
Esop. Why, what's the matter with your old one?
2 Tra.
What's the matter!
Why, he grows rich; that's the matter;
And he that's rich can't be innocent; that's all.
Esop. Does he use any of you harshly? Or punish you without a Fault?
2 Tra. No, but he grows as rich as a Miser; his Purse is so cramm'd, 'tis ready to burst again.
