VAN. Prodigality, is it true? young, wasteful, roisting Prodigality,
To encounter old, sparing, covetous, niggard Tenacity?
Sure, such a match as needs must yield us sport:
Therefore, until the time that Prodigality resort,
I'll entertain this crust with some device— [aside.
Well, father, to be sped of money with a trice,
What will you give me?
TEN. Cha vore thee, son, do rid me quickly hence,
Chill give thee a vair piece of three-halfpence.
VAN. Indeed?
TEN. Here's my hand.
VAN. Now, sir, in sooth you offer so bountifully,
As needs you must be us'd accordingly.
But tell me, know you him that cometh here?
TEN. Cock's bores, 'tis Prodigality; 'tis he I did fear.
Cham afraid che may go whistle now for money.
VAN. Tush, man, be of good cheer, I warrant thee;
He speedeth best, that best rewardeth me.
SCENE IV.
Enter PRODIGALITY, VANITY, TENACITY, HOST, FORTUNE, and MONEY.
HOST. Sir, now your reckoning is made even:
I'll trust no more.
