((the prologue))
Not in high numbers we intend to bring
The fates of Princes in a laboured scene.
We seek not with tragic events to fright,
Or to affect you with a sad delight.
Our aim is laughter, if we that do move
It will a garland to our labours prove.
However Sirs our duty we will pay,
And beg your kind acceptance of our Play.
((act 1))
((scene 1))
((Enter Covet and Spendall))
<S  COV>
You'll seal the writings?
<S  SPEN>
Seal them Covet? I'll seal them and seal them.
May I never see day of pleasure if I intend to cosen
thee.
<S  COV>
You are more noble sir.
<S  SPEN>
I value no more land than I do dirt. It is . . .
