16481509Hot. Let me not vnder
stand you then,
speake it in Wel
sh.
16501510Glen. I can
speake Engli
sh Lord as well as you,
16511511For
I was traind vp in the Engli
sh court,
16521512Where being but yong I framed to the harpe
16531513Many an Engli
sh ditty louely well,
16541514And gaue the tongue a helpeful ornament,
16551515A vertue that was neuer
seene in you.
16561516Hot. Marry and
I am glad of it with all my hart,
16571517I had rather be a kitten and cry mew,
16581518Then one of the
se
same miter ballet mongers,
16591519I had rather heare a brazen can
sticke turnd,
16601520Or a drie wheele grate on the exle tree,
16611521And that would
set my teeth nothing an edge,
16621522Nothing
so much as min
sing poetry,
16631523Tis like the forc't gate of a
shu
ffling nag.
16641524Glen. Come, you
shal haue Trent turnd.
16651525Hot. I do not care, ile giue thrice

shines faire, you may away by night
16721531Ile ha
ste the writer, and withal
16731532Breake with your, wiues of your departure hence,
16741533I am afraid my daughter will run mad,

Exit
16761535Mor. Fie coo

16781536Hot. I cannot chu

sometime he angers me
16791537With telling me of the Moldwarp and the Ant,
16801538Of the dreamer Merlin and his prophecies,
16811539And of a Dragon and a
finles
fish,
16821540A clipwingd Gri
ffin and a molten rauen,
16831541A couching Leon and a ramping Cat,
16841542And
such a deale of skimble
scamble
