Ape. Come with me (Foole) come
Foole. I do not alwayes follow Louer, elder Brother,
and Woman, sometime the Philosopher

That I might so haue rated my expence
As I had leaue of meanes
Stew. You would not heare me:

And your great flow of debts; my lou'd Lord,
Though you heare now (too late) yet nowes a time,
The greatest of your hauing, lackes a halfe,
To pay your present debts

Stew. 'Tis all engag'd, some forfeyted and gone,
And what remaines will hardly stop the mouth
Of present dues; the future comes apace:
What shall defend the interim, and at length
How goes our reck'ning?
Tim. To Lacedemon did my Land extend
