Cuthb. I suppose there is no great difference, truly:
But wherefore ask you? I pray you, tell me why?
New. I will tell you the cause without any delay:
For a piece of land is fallen, as I hear say,
Which by succession must come to one of you:
A proper plot it is, this is most true.
For thou, Cuthbert Cutpurse, was Cuthbert Cutthroat's son,
And thou, Pierce Pickpurse, by that time thou hast done,
Canst derive thy pedigree from an ancient house:
Thy father was Tom Thief, and thy mother was Tib Louse.
