[They
cast lots, and it falleth on Jonah]
1st Sailor: Tell us what happened now, we
pray, and why
upon thee fell the lot.
2nd Sailor:
What fault of signs
or portents did precipitate thy try,
that we may know the reasons and
designs
behind whose cause this evil doth
impart
destruction.
3rd Sailor: What thy occupation?
1st Sailor:
Whence
com’st thou?
2nd Sailor: What
nation from, what people art
thou of?
3rd Sailor: What
seekest thou, in going thence?
1st Sailor: Didst thou some rank impiety
commit?
2nd Sailor: Didst sin or hold some evil in
thine heart?
3rd Sailor: Did impropriety make thee unfit?
