Heaven prosper you, that you may know old years,

And live to see your children's children 140

Sit at your boards with plenty! When there is
A want of any thing, let it be known
To me, and I will be a father to you:
God keep you all!

All. God bless your majesty, God bless your majesty! 145

1st Shop-M. Come, shall we go? all's done.

Wom. Ay, for God's sake; I have not made a fire
yet.

2nd Shop-M. Away, away! all's done.

3rd Shap-M. Content.--Farewell, Philip. 150

1st Cit. W. Away, you halter-sack, you!

1st Shop-M. Philip will not fight; he's afraid on's
face.

Phil. Ay, marry, am I afraid of my face?

3rd Shop-M. Thou wouldst be, Philip, if thou sawest 155

it in a glass; it looks so like a visor.

1st Cit. W. You'll be hang'd, sirrah. [Exeunt three
Shop-Men and Woman.] Come, Philip, walk afore us
homewards.--Did not his majesty say he had brought

us home peas for all our money? 160

2nd Cit. W. Yes, marry, did he.

1st Cit. W. They're the first I heard on this year, by
my troth: I long'd for some of 'em. Did he not say
we should have some?

2nd Cit. W. Yes, and so we shall anon, I warrant 165

you, have every one a peck brought home to our houses.

[Ezeunt.
