_Hig._ Cry, a Judge, a Judge.
_Gos._ What ail you Sirs? what means this outcry? _Hig._ Master, A sort of poor souls met: Gods fools, good Master, Have had some little variance amongst our selves Who should be honestest of us, and which lives Uprightest in his calling: Now, 'cause we thought We ne're should 'gree on't our selves, because Indeed 'tis hard to say: we all dissolv'd, to put it To him that should come next, and that's your Master-ship, Who, I hope, will 'termine it as your mind serves you, Right, and no otherwise we ask it: which? Which does your worship think is he? sweet Master Look over us all, and tell us; we are seven of us, Like to the seven wise Masters, or the Planets. _Gos._ I should judge this the man with the grave beard, And if he be not-- _Clau._ Bless you, good Master, bless you. _Gos._ I would he were: there's something too amongst you To keep you all honest. [_Exit._ _Snap._ King of Heaven go with you. _Omn._ Now good reward him, May he never want it, to comfort still the poor, in a good hour. |
