New. I thank you both even heartily,
And I will do somewhat for you by and by:
Are not you two sworn brothers in every booty?
Both. Yes, that we are truly.
New. Then can I tell you news, which you do not know:
Such news as will make you full glad, I trow.
But first tell me this, Pierce Pickpurse,
Whether is the elder, thou or Cuthbert Cutpurse?
Pierce. In faith, I think we are both of one age well nigh.
