 The Two Noble Kinsmen. 
 1748Say the Schoolemaster's no Clowne:
 1749Duke, if we have pleasd three too
 1750And have done as good Boyes should doe,
 1751Give us but a tree or twaine
 1752For a Maypole, and againe
 1753Ere another yeare run out,
 1754Wee'l make thee laugh and all this rout.
 1755Thes. Take 20. Domine; how does my sweet heart.
 1756Hip. Never so pleasd Sir.
 1757Emil. Twas an excellent dance, and for a preface
 1758I never heard a better.
 1759Thes. Schoolemaster, I thanke yon, One see'em all re-(warded.
 1760Per. And heer's something to paint your Pole withall.
 1761Thes. Now to our sports againe.
 1762Sch. May the Stag thou huntst stand long,
 1763And thy dogs be swift and strong:
 1764May they kill him without lets,
 1765And the Ladies eate his dowsets: Come we are all made.
 1766Winde Hornes. 
 1767Dij Deaeq; omnes, ye have danc'd rarely wenches.  Exeunt.
 1768Scaena 7. Enter Palamon from the Bush.
 1769Pal. About this houre my Cosen gave his faith
 1770To visit me againe, and with him bring
 1771Two Swords, and two good Armors; if he faile
 1772He's neither man, nor Souldier; when he left me
 1773I did not thinke a weeke could have restord
 1774My lost strength to me, I was growne so low,
 1775And Crest-falne with my wants; I thanke thee Arcite,
 1776Thou art yet a faire Foe; and I feele my selfe
 1777With this refreshing, able once againe
 1778To out dure danger: To delay it longer
 1779Would make the world think when it comes to hearing,
 1780That I lay fatting like a Swine, to fight
 1781And not a Souldier: Therefore this blest morning
 1782Shall be the last; and that Sword he refutes,
 1783If it but hold, I kill him with; tis Iustice:
 1784So love, and Fortune for me: O good morrow.
 1785Enter Arcite with Armors and Swords.
   Arcite.
