I think he may; but have a care you go not too high (neigh bour Notch ) least you chance to have a Tally made of your pate, and be clawed with a cudgel; there is as much danger going too near the King, as the Lyons. I sir, I knew him a fine Merchant, a merchant of Hops, till all hopt into the water. A poor Lighter-man sir, one that hath had the honour some times to lay in the Kings beer there; and I assure you I herd it in no worse place then the very Buttery, for a certain, there would be no Masque, and from such as could command a Jack of beer, two, or three. And were three of those Gentlewomen that should have acted in that famous matter of England's joy in six hundred and three. Very sufficient Bears as any are in the Ground, the Parish-Garden, and can dance at first sighed, and play their own tunes if needs be. John Urson the Bearward, offers to play them with any Citie-dancers christened, for a ground measure. And a half sir. And shall we see it here?
Plot summary
Plot — The Gypsies Metamorphosed
A troop of gypsies arrive with children and stolen meat, and proceed to read the palms and tell the fortunes of the King, the Prince, and various members of the aristocratic audience. Some rustics turn up, attracted by the sound of the Gypsies’ dancing. They decide to have a dance themselves with their wenches, and collect money to pay the musicians. The Gypsies steal their purses and other possessions, but then return the items to their pockets by legerdemain. The rustics are interested in the Gypsies’ place of origin, Devil’s Arse, and ask where the name came from. A song is sung by way of an answer, telling of how the first captain of the Gypsies, Cock-Lorel, entertained the Devil to a banquet, with numerous different varieties of human flesh on the menu; the Devil blew the feast away with a fart and so gave the place its name. The Gypsies are metamorphosed into white-skinned lords, and praise the King. C-Text After the Cock-Lorel song, the rustics are seized with the desire to become Gypsies themselves, and the Patrico tells them what a long process their initiation would be.
