And they again, out of their bounteous mind, Hath to a brother of their company, A man decayed by fortune of the Seas, Given Bagot's wealth, to set him up again, And keep it for him: his name is Banister. GOVERNOUR. Master Bowser, with this happy news You have revived two from the gates of death: This is that Banister, and this his wife. BOWSER. Sir, I am glad my fortune is so good, To bring such tidings as may comfort you. BANISTER. You have given life unto a man deemed dead, For by these news, my life is newly bred. MISTRESS BANISTER. Thanks to my God, next to my Sovereign King, And last to you that these good hopes doth bring. GOVERNOUR. The hundred pound I must receive as due For finding Bagot, I freely give to you. BOWSER. |
