15451. Out-l. Fellowes, stand fast: I see a passenger.

1546 2. Out. If there be ten, shrinke not, but down with 'em.

15473. Out. Stand sir, and throw vs that you haue about 'ye.

1548If not: we'll make you sit, and rifle you.

1549Sp. Sir we are vndone; these are the Villaines

1550That all the Trauailers doe feare so much.

1551Val. My friends.

15521. Out. That's not so, sir: we are your enemies.

15532. Out. Peace: we'll heare him.

1554 3. Out. I by my beard will we: for he is a proper man.

1555Val. Then know that I haue little wealth to loose;

1556A man I am, cross'd with aduersitie:

1557My riches, are these poore habiliments,

1558Of which, if you should here disfurnish me,

1559You take the sum and substance that I haue.

15602. Out. Whether trauell you?

1561Val. To Verona.

15621. Out. Whence came you?

1563Val. From Millaine.

15643. Out. Haue you long soiourn'd there?

1565 Val. Some sixteene moneths, and longer might haue (staid,

1566If crooked fortune had not thwarted me.

15671. Out. What, were you banish'd thence?

1568Val. I was.

15692. Out. For what offence?

1570Val. For that which now torments me to rehearse;

1571I kil'd a man, whose death I much repent,

1572But yet I slew him manfully, in fight,

1573Without false vantage, or base treachery.

15741. Out. Why nere repent it, if it were done so;

1575But were you banisht for so small a fault?

1576Val. I was, and held me glad of such a doome.

15772. Out. Haue you the Tongues?

1578Val. My youthfull trauaile, therein made me happy,

1579Or else I often had beene often miserable.

15803. Out. By the bare scalpe of Robin Hoods fat Fryer,

1581This fellow were a King, for our wilde faction.

15821. Out. We'll haue him: Sirs, a word.

1583Sp. Master, be one of them:

1584It's an honourable kinde of theeuery.

1585Val. Peace villaine.

15862. Out. Tell vs this: haue you any thing to take to?

1587Val. Nothing but my fortune.

15883. Out. Know then, that some of vs are Gentlemen,

1589Such as the fury of vngouern'd youth

1590Thrust from the company of awfull men.

1591My selfe was from Verona banished,

1592For practising to steale away a Lady,

1593And heire and Neece, alide vnto the Duke.

15942. Out. And I from Mantua, for a Gentleman,

1595Who, in my moode, I stab'd vnto the heart.

15961. Out. And I, for such like petty crimes as these.

1597But to the purpose: for we cite our faults,

1598That they may hold excus'd our lawlesse liues;

1599And partly seeing you are beautifide

1600With goodly shape; and by your owne report,

1601A Linguist, and a man of such perfection,

1602As we doe in our quality much want.

16032. Out. Indeede because you are a banish'd man,

1604Therefore, aboue the rest, we parley to you:

1605Are you content to be our Generall?

1606To make a vertue of necessity,

1607And liue as we doe in this wildernesse?

1608 3. Out. What saist thou? wilt thou be of our consort?

1609Say I, and be the captaine of vs all:

1610We'll doe thee homage, and be rul'd by thee,

1611Loue thee, as our Commander, and our King.

16121. Out. But if thou scorne our curtesie, thou dyest.

1613 2. Out. Thou shalt not liue, to brag what we haue of-

1614Val. I take your offer, and will liue with you, (fer'd.

1615Prouided that you do no outrages

1616On silly women, or poore passengers.

16173. Out. No, we detest such vile base practises.

1618Come, goe with vs, we'll bring thee to our Crewes,

1619And show thee all the Treasure we haue got;

1620Which, with our selues, all rest at thy dispose. Exeunt.
