Of DAMON and PITHIAS.
230 P Here entreth STEPHANO.
P Not farre hence: a Pockes take these Maryner knaues,
Not one would healpe mee to carry this stuffe, such drunken slaues
I thinke be accursed of the Goddes owne mouthes.
DAMON.
235 P Stephano, leaue thy ragyng, and let vs enter SIRACVSAE
We wil prouide lodgyng, and thou shalt be eased of thy burden by & by
STEPHANO.
P Good may ster make ha ste, for I tell you playne,
This heauy burden puts poore Stephano to much payne.
240 PITHIAS.
P Come on thy wayes, thou shalt be eased, and that anon. EXIT.
Here entreth CARISOPHVS.
It is a true saying that oft hath bin spoken,
The pitcher goeth so longe to the water, that he commeth home broken
245My owne proofe this hath taught me, for truly sith I,
In the Citie haue vsed to walke very slyly,
Not with one can I meete, that will in talke ioyne with mee,
And to creepe into mens bosomes some talke for to snatche,
By which into one trip or other, I might trimly them catche
250And so accuse them: Now not with one can I meete,
That wyll ioyne in talke wt mee, I am shund lyke a Deuill in ye streete,
My credite is crackte where I am knowne, but yet I heare say,
Certayne straingers are arriued, they were a good pray,
If happely I might meete with them, I feare not I,
255But in talke I should trippe them, and that very finely,
Which thinge, I a s s ure you, I doo for myne owne gayne,
Or els I woulde not plodde thus vp and downe, I tell you playne:
Well, I wyll for a whyle to the Court to s ee
What Ari stippus doth, I would be loth in fauer he shuld ouerrun mee,
260He is a subtile chyld, he flattreth so finely, that I feare mee,
He wyll licke all the fatte from my lippes, and so outwery mee:
Therefore I wyll not be longe absent, but at hand,
That al his fine driftes I may vnder stande. EXIT.

Here entreth WYLL and IACKE.
265 I wonder what my Ma ster Ari stippus meanes now a daies,
That he leaueth Philosophie, and seekes to please
Kyng Dioni sius, with such mery toyes,
In Dioni sius Court now he only ioyes,
As trim a Courtier as the best,
270Ready to aunswer, quicke in tauntes, pleasaunt to ie ste,
