Not to ask questions, walk forth on your walls,
Visit your courts of guard, view your munition, Ask of your corn-provisions, nor enquire Into the least, as spies upon your strengths, So let's entreat, we may receive from you Nothing in passage or discourse, but what We may with gladness, and our honesties here, And that shall seal our welcom. _Van._ Good: let's drink then, Fill out, I keep mine old pearl still Captain. _Marg._ I hang fast man. _Hen._ Old Jewels commend their keeper, Sir. _Van._ Here's to you with a heart, my Captains friend, With a good heart, and if this make us speak Bold words, anon, 'tis all under the Rose Forgotten: drown all memory, when we drink. _Hub._ 'Tis freely spoken noble _Burgomaster_, I'le do you right. _Hem._ Nay Sir mine heer _Van-dunck_ Is a true Statesman. _Van._ Fill my Captains cup there, O that your Master _Wolfort_ Had been an honest man. |
