28152660To enforce the pained impotent to smile.

28162661Berow. To moue wilde laughter in the throate of death?

28172662It cannot be, it is impossible.

28182663Mirth cannot moue a soule in agonie.

28192664Rosal. Why thats the way to choake a gibing spirrit,

28202665Whose influence is begot of that loose grace,

28212666Which shallow laughing hearers giue to fooles,

28222667A iestes prosperitie lies in the eare,

28232668Of him that heares it, neuer in the tongue

28242669Of him that makes it: then if sickly eares

28252670Deaft with the clamours of their owne deare grones,

28262671Will heare your idle scornes; continue then,

28272672And I will haue you, and that fault withall.

28282673But if they will not, throw away that spirrit,

28292674And I shall finde you emptie of that fault,

28302675Right ioyfull of your reformation.

28312676Berow. A tweluemonth? well; befall what will befall,

28322677Ile iest a tweluemonth in an Hospitall.

28332678Queen. I sweete my Lord, and so I take my leaue.

28342679King. No Madame, we will bring you on your way.

28352680Berow. Our wooing doth not ende like an olde Play:

28362681Iacke hath not Gill: these Ladies courtesie

28372682Might well haue made our sport a Comedie.

28382683King. Come sir, it wants a tweluemonth an'a day,

28392684And then twill ende.

28402685Berow. That's too long for a Play.

28422687Brag. Sweete Maiestie vouchsafe me.

28432688Queen. Was not that Hector?

28442689Duma. The worthie Knight of Troy.

28452690Brag. I will kisse thy royall finger, and take leaue.

28462691I am a Votarie; I haue vowde to Iaquenetta

2692To holde the Plough for her sweete loue three yeere.

28472693But most esteemed greatnes, will you heare the Dialogue

28482694that the two Learned men haue compiled, in prayse of the

28492695Owle and the Cuckow? it should haue followed in the
