GERALD

Fie, fie, what tediosity, & disensanity is here among you? have my Rudiments been by aboard so long with you? milked unto you, and by a figure even the very plumbroth & marrow of my understanding laid upon you? and do you still cry where, and how, & wherefore? you most course freeze capacities, you jave Judgements, have I said thus let be, and there let be, and then let be, and no man understand me, proh , medius , you are all dunces: For why here stand I. Here the Duke comes, there are you close in the Thicket; the Duke appears, I meet him and unto him I utter learned things, and many figures, he hears, and nods, and hums, and then cries rare, and I go forward, at length I fling my Cap up; mark there; then do you as once did M ager, and the Boar break comely out before him: Like true lovers, cast your selves in a Body decently, and sweetly, by a figure trace, and turn Boys. But I say where's their women? Where be your Ribbons maid ? swim with your Bodies And carry it sweetly, and deliverly And now and then a favour, and a frisko. Where's the rest o'th Music. Couple then And see what's wanting; where's the Bavian? My friend, carry your tail without offence r scandal to the Ladies; and be sure tumble with audacity, and manhood, And when you bark do it with judgement. Quo usque tandem. Here is a woman wanting We have, As learned Authors utter, washd a Tile, We have been fatum , and laboured vainly. And Eel and woman, A learned Poet says: unless by'th tail And with thy teeth thou hold, will either fail, In manners this was false position Nothing, Our business is become a nullity Yea, and a woeful, and a piteous nullity. And are you mad good woman? Why? Dij boni. A Tinker Damosel? Persuasively, and cunningly: away boys, Ex. all but Schoolmaster. I hear the horns: give me some Meditation, and mark your Cuo: Pallas inspire me. Stay, and edify. Thou doughty Duke all hail: ll hail sweet Ladies. If you but favour; our Country pastime made is, We are a few of those collected here That ruder Tongues distinguish villager, And to say verity, and not to fable; We are a merry rout, or else a rabble Or company, or by a figure, Choris That before thy dignity will dance a Morris. And I that am the rectifier of all By title Pedagogus, that let fallen The Birch upon the breeches of the small ones, And humble with a the tall ones, Do here present this Machine, or this From e, And dainty Duke, whose doughty dis all fame From Dis to Dedal , from post to pillar Is blown abroad; help me thy poor well willer, And with thy twinc king eyes, look right and straight Upon this mighty — of much weight Is — now comes in, which being glewd together Makes Morris, and the cause that we came either. The body of our sport of no small study I first appear, though rude, and raw, and muddy, To speak before thy noble grace, this to er: At whose great feet I offer up y penner. The next the Lord of May, and Lady bright, The Chambermaid, and Servingman by night That seek out sil to ging: Then mine Host And his fat Spouse, that welcomes to their cost The gauled Traveller, and with a beckoning Informs the Tapster to inflame the reckoning: Then the beast eating Clown, and next the fool, The Bavian with long tail, and eke long , Cummultis aliijs that make a dance, Say I, and all shall presently advance. May the Stag thou stand long, And thy dogs be swift and strong: May they kill him withoutlets, And the Ladies ate his dows ts: Come we are all de. Wind . Dij Deam que omnes, you have danced rarely wenches. . Go take her, and fluently persuade her to a peace: Et opus exegi, quod nec ira, ignis. Strike up, and lead her in.
