_Hig._ Not I if they should offer it: I'le dislodge first,
Remove the Bush to another climat.
_Ger._ Sir, you must thank this worthy _Burgomaster_,
Here be friends ask to be look'd on too,
And thank'd, who though their trade, and course of life
Be not so perfect, but it may be better'd,
Have yet us'd me with courtesy, and been true
Subjects unto me, while I was their King,
A place I know not well how to resign,
Nor unto whom: But this I will entreat
Your grace, command them follow you to _Bruges_;
Where I will take the care on me, to find
Some manly, and more profitable course
To fit them, as a part of the Republique.
_Flo._ Do you hear Sirs? do so.
_Hig._ Thanks to your good grace.
_Prig._ To your good Lordship.
_Fer._ May you both live long.
_Ger._ Attend me at _Van-dunks_, the _Burgomasters_.
[_Ex. all but Beggars._
_Hig._ Yes, to beat hemp, and be whipt twice a week,
Or turn the wheel, for Crab the Rope-maker:
Or learn to go along with him, his course;
That's a fine course now, i' the common-wealth, _Prig_,
What say you to it?
_Prig._ It is the backwardst course,
I know i'the world.
