Avar. Thou shalt be well placed where to thrive very fast.
Adul. I thank you, Master Avarice! with all my heart.
Avar. And when thou art in place, see thou play well thy part.
When ye claw her elbow, remember your best friend;
And let my commendations be ever at one end.
Adul. I warrant you!
Insol. And what! shall [I] be left clean out?
Avar. No, sir! ye shall be chief to bring all things about;
Ye shall among us have the chief pre-eminence;
And we to you, as it were, owe obedience:
Ye shall be our leader, our captain, and our guide;
Then must ye look aloft, with hands under the side.
I shall tell Respublica ye can best govern:
Be not ye, then, squeamish to take in hand the stern.
Then shall we assist you, as friends of perfect trust,
To do and to undo, and command what ye lust,
And, when you have all at your own will and pleasure,
Part of your livings to your friends ye may measure;
And punish the proudest of them that will resist.
Oppr. He that once winceth shall feel the weight of my fist.
Adul. Yea! we must all hold and cleave together like burrs.
Avar. Yea! see ye three hang and draw together like furze.
Oppr. And so shall we be sure to get store of money
Sweeter than sugar!
