Of troth you say true, for she bad us make haste: [Aside.]
But my talk, me-thought, savoured well, and had a good taste.
[Exeunt ambo.
Enter MERCATORE like an Italian Merchant.

From da place where dwells my Lady Lucar.
But here come an shentlymane, a, soe he do.
[Enter DISSIMULATION.
Shentleman, I pray you heartily, let me speak you.
Pray you, do you not know a shentleman dat Master Davy do call?
DISSIMULATION.
Yes, marry, do I: I am he, and what would you withal?
MERCATORE.
Gooda my friend, Master Davy, help me, pray you heartily,
For a some-a acquaintance a with Madonna Lucar, your lady.
DISSIMULATION.
Sir, upon condition I will: therefore I would you should know,
That on me and my fellows you must largely bestow;
Whose names are Fraud, Usury, and Simony, men of great credit and calling,
And to get my lady's goodwill and theirs it is no small thing.
But tell me, can you be content to win Lucre by Dissimulation?
