And keep their teeth clean. [Re-enter two of the Citizens.]

Third Cit. We do, sir; tell us what hath brought you[3013]

Sec. Cit. Your own desert![3014]
Cor. Ay, but not mine own desire.[3014][3015]
First Cit. How! not your own desire![3014]
Cor. No, sir, 'twas never my desire yet to trouble the[3014] 65
poor with begging.[3014]
Third Cit. You must think, if we give you any thing,[3013][3014]
we hope to gain by you.[3014]
