A pleasant Comedie of the two
Seene many shipwracks of true honesty,
But incident such dangers euer are,
To them that without compasse sayle so farre,
Why what need men to swim when they may wade?
But leaue this talke, enough of this is said,
And Master Goursey, in good faith sir wellcome:
And mistresse Goursey, I am much in debt,
Vnto your kindnes that would visit me.

Sometimes your company, at our homely house.
