33252948First my feare then my cursie, last my speech.

33262949My feare, is your displeasure, my cursy, my duty, & my speech,

33272950to beg your pardons: if you looke for a good speech now, you

33282951vndo me, for what I haue to say is of mine owne making, and

33292952what indeed (I should say) wil (I doubt) proue mine own mar-

33302953ring: but to the purpose, and so to the venture. Be it knowne to

33312954you, as it is very well, I was lately here in the end of a displea-

33322955sing play, to pray your patience for it, and to promise you a bet-

33332956ter: I meant indeed to pay you with this, which if like an il ven-

33342957ture it come vnluckily home, I breake, and you my gentle cre-

33352958ditors loose, here I promisde you I would be, and here I com-

2959mit my body to your mercies, bate me some, and I will pay you

33362960some, and (as most debtors do) promise you infinitely: and so I

3336.12961kneele downe before you; but indeed, to pray for the Queene.

2963commaund me to vse my legges? And yet that were but light

33392964payment, to daunce out of your debt, but a good consci-

33402965ence will make any possible satisfaction, and so woulde I: all

33412966the Gentlewomen heere haue forgiuen me, if the Gentlemen

2967will not, then the Gentlemen doe not agree with the Gentle-

33422968women, which was neuer seene in such an assemblie.

2970cloyd with fatte meate, our humble Author will continue the

33452971storie, with sir Iohn in it, and make you merry with faire Ka-

33462972tharine of Fraunce, where (for any thing I knowe) Falstaffe

33472973shall die of a sweat, vnlesse already a be killd with your harde

2974opinions; for Olde-castle died Martyre, and this is not the

33482975man: my tongue is weary, when my legges are too, I wil bid

33492976you, good night.
