590And when I had been in his belly,

591I would haue kept such a iangling of the Belles,

592That he should neuer haue left,

593Till he cast Belles, Steeple, Church and Parish vp againe:

594But if the good King Simonides were of my minde.

595Per. Simonides?

5963. We would purge the land of these Drones,

597That robbe the Bee of her Hony.

598Per.How from the fenny subiect of the Sea,

599These Fishers tell the infirmities of men,

600And from their watry empire recollect,

601All that may men approue, or men detect.

602Peace be at your labour, honest Fisher-men.

6032. Honest good fellow what's that, if it be a day fits you

604Search out of the Kalender, and no body looke after it?

605Peri. May see the Sea hath cast vpon your coast:

6062. What a drunken Knaue was the Sea,

607To cast thee in our way?

608Per. A man whom both the Waters and the Winde,

609In that vast Tennis-court, hath made the Ball

610For them to play vpon, intreates you pittie him:

611Hee askes of you, that neuer vs'd to begge.

6121. No friend, cannot you begge?

613Heer's them in our countrey of Greece,

614Gets more with begging, then we can doe with working.

6152. Canst thou catch any Fishes then?

616Peri. I neuer practizde it.

6172. Nay then thou wilt starue sure: for heer's nothing to

618be got now-adayes, vnlesse thou canst fish for't.

619Per. What I haue been, I haue forgot to know;

620But what I am, want teaches me to thinke on:

621A man throng'd vp with cold, my Veines are chill,

622And haue no more of life then may suffize,

623To giue my tongue that heat to aske your helpe:

624Which if you shall refuse, when I am dead,

625For that I am a man, pray you see me buried.
