Lio. What is't?
Pet. A piece of antiquity, sir; 'tis English coin; and if you will needs know, 'tis an old Harry groat.[322]
Lio. Thank him heartily.
Pet. And 'tis the first, he says, that e'er was made of them; and, in his esteem, is worth three double ducats newly stamped.
Lio. His folly may put what price he please upon it, but to me 'tis no more than the value, Petro.
Pet. He says, moreover, that it may stand you in some use and pleasure hereafter, when you grow ancient; for it is worn so thin with often handling, it may serve you for a spectacle.
Lio. Very well.
Duke. 'Twere a good deed to conspire against him; he has a humour easy to be wrought on, and if you'll undertake him, we'll assist you in the performance.
Lio. With all my heart, gentlemen, and I thank you.
Duke. Let us defer it no longer then, but instantly about it.
