SCENE V.

_Enter Saylers singing, to them_ Michael, _and_ Francis.

_Sayl._ Aboard, aboard, the wind stands fair.

_Mich._ These call for Passengers, I'll stay and see What men they take aboard.

_Fran._ A Boat, a Boat, a Boat.

_Sayl._ Away then.

_Fran._ Whither are ye bound, Friends?

_Sayl._ Down to the Straits.

_Mich._ Ha! 'tis not much unlike him.

_Fran._ May I have passage for my money?

_Sayl._ And welcome too.

_Mich._ 'Tis he, I know 'tis he now.

_Fran._ Then merrily aboard, and noble friend, Heavens goodness keep thee ever, and all vertue Dwell in thy bosome, _Cellide_, my last tears I leave behind me thus, a sacrifice, For I dare stay no longer to betray ye.

_Mich._ Be not so quick, Sir; Saylers I here charge ye By virtue of this Warrant, as you will answer it, For both your Ship and Merchant I know perfectly, Lay hold upon this fellow.

_Fran._ Fellow?

_Mich._ I, Sir.

_Sayl._ No hand to Sword, Sir, we shall master ye, Fetch out the manacles.

_Fran._ I do obey ye; But I beseech you, Sir, inform me truly How I am guilty.

_Mich._ You have rob'd a Gentleman, One that you are bound to for your life and being; Money and horse unjustly ye took from him, And something of more note, but--for y'are a Gentleman.

_Fra._ It shall be so, and here I'll end all miseries, Since friendship is so cruel, I confess it, And which is more, a hundred of these robberies: This Ring I stole too from him, and this Jewel, The first and last of all my wealth; forgive me My innocence and truth, for saying I stole 'em, And may they prove of value but to recompence The thousandth part of his love, and bread I have eaten; 'Pray see 'em render'd noble Sir, and so I yield me to your power.

_Mich._ Guard him to th' water, I charge you, Saylers, there I will receive him, And back convey him to a Justice.

_Sayl._ Come, Sir, Look to your neck, you are like to sail i'th' air now.

[Exeunt.
