SIMONY. 'Tis not our native country, thou knowest. I, Simony, am a Roman:Dissimulation, a mongrel--half an Italian, half a Dutchman: Fraud so, too--half French and half Scotish; and thy parents were both Jews, though thou wert born in London, and here, Usury, thou art cried outagainst by the preachers. Join with us, man, to better thy state, forin Spain preaching toucheth us not.
USURY. To better my state? Nay, to alter my state, for here, where I am, I know the government: here I can live for ...all their threat'ning. If strangers prevail, I know not their laws nor their usage: theymay be oppressors, and take all I have; and it is like they are so, for they seek that's not their own. Therefore here will I stay, sure to keep what I have, rather than be a traitor upon hap andhad-I-wist: and stay you, if ye be wise, and pray as I pray, thatthe preachers and all other good men may die, and then we shallflourish; but never trust to strangers' courtesy.
FRAUD. We shall trust but to our friends and kin.
