Enter Servant.

Serv.Ho! my old Master! my old Masters come, he's Lighted just now at the door with his man John; he's asking for you, he longs to see you; my Master, my old Master.

Serv.If you wo'nt believe me, go but in and see Sir; he's not so much alter'd, but you'l quickly know him, I knew him before he was Lighted, pray, go in Sir.

Joll.Why, this is strange— there was indeed some weeks since a report at the Exchange that he was Alive still, which was brought by a Ship that came from Barbary; but that he should be Split in two after his Death, and Live agen in both, is wonderfull to me. I'l go see what's the matter.

Pun.I begin to shake like a Plum-tree Leaf.

Wor.'Tis a meer Plot o' the Devils to have us beaten, if he send him in just at this Nick.
