Rem. They be here yet; to keep them fast is mine intent.
Have them away, both to prison, incontinent!
Ill-W. Lo, false knave! this is for thy crafty wit;
Now fast by the heels we are like to sit.
Wit. I am content so that I may have company;
If I should be hanged I would be hanged honest.
[And goeth out.
Rem. Go hence with them, and bring Wealth and Liberty.
Health. Come away, ye thieves! now I shall keep you surely!
[And goeth out.
Ill-W. Lock us up, and keep us as fast as ye can,
Yet Ill-Will and Shrewd Wit shall be with many a man.
Rem. I am half ashamed that long it hath been said
That noble men by such wretches hath been deceived.
They did rejoice and jest, and were very well apaid,
Trusting to scape clear and still for to have reigned.
But now, they shall not so; let them be well assured
That Ill-Will and Shrewd Wit shall have but ill rest; D4,r.
For wheresoever they be I will break their nest.
