I do say'and't please his Madestee, I do not Like him with aull his heart; h'is plugd in by the ears, without all piddies, or mercies of propriedies or decorums.

Why there is Talgar. Eliennieth. Cadier Arthur. Pen-maen-maur. And Craig-eriri. 'Is caulld the British Aulpes, Craig-Eririri, a very sufficient Hills. I pray you let it alone your wachers a liddle while Cossin Davy ap Jenkin, and give it leave I may give his Madestee, and the Court in formations toudging now the Reformations. Why, tauke it aull then, if you think is reason in you. God's owns, here is no corrections man; imagine what you please, do in God's name, imagine, imagine, why do you not imagine? here is no pennyrths of corrections. 'Is so invincibles, so in mercifullys ignorant, a man knows not upon what inces of ground to stand to him; doe's conceive it no more as I am a true Welse christian, then (sirreverence Oh the cympany) the-hilts of his dagger. How! upon my pate? Well, I can be patient, I trust, I trust it is in a presence I presume that loves no quarrels, nor replies, nor the lies, nor the challenge, nor the Duels: but—I will do my byssinesse now, and make this a byssi ness for another days hereafter: Pleas' your Madestee—By God I am out of my tempers terribly well, God forgive me, and pit me in my selive again. How doe's your Highness—I know not a 'oord or a sil lable what I say; 'is do me that vexations. I remember him now, 'is enough, blessings upon me 'is out o'my head again; lost, quite lost: this knock, o'my pate has knock aull my wits out o'my brains I think, and turn my reasons out of doors. Be leave it I will rub, and break your s'ins for this, I will not come so high as your head, but I will take your nose in my way, very sufficiently.

I am now once again about him: peace; please your Madestee, the Welse Nation hearing that the Prince of Wales was to come into the Hills again, afore your Madestee have a desire of his Highness for the honour of Wales, to make him a Welse hills, which is done without any manner of sharshese to your Madestee, only shanging his name: He is caull now Craig-Eriri, a Mountain in Carnarvan-Seere; has as grey beard, and as much snow upon his head aull the year long, He tells your Madestee true, for aull he is a liddle out of season: but cym every man tell as much as he cannow, my quality is I hope suf ficiently known to his Madestee, that I am Rector Chori is aull my am bitions, and that I would have it aull Welse; that is the s'ort and the long of the Requests. The Prince of Wales we know is aull over Welse. Both my Lord Marquise is as good, noble, true Briton, as any e for is come out of Wales. Houghton is a Town bear his name there by Pipidiauke. Or Abertau. Aberconway is very Like Abercromy, a liddell hard s'ifte has pit'em aull into Wales; but our desires and petitions is, that the muisiques be aull Welse, and the dances, and no' Erculus brought in now with a gread staff, and a pudding upon him. What needs of Ercules, when Cadwalader — Nay, and to pit apparel on a pottle of hay, and caull him Lantaeus. I, stand to it, there was neither Poetries, nor Architectures, nor de signs in that bellie-god; nor a note of music's about him. Come, bring forth our musics, you s'all hear the true Pritan strains now, the and cient Welse Harp—you tauke of their Pigmees too, here is a Pigmees of Wales now; set forth another Pigmees by him!

I'Is not come here to tauke of Brut, from whence the Welse do's take his root; Nor tell long pedigree of Prince Camber, whose lineage would fill aull this Chamber; Nor sing the deeds of old Saint Davy, the ursip of which would fill a Navy. But hark you me now, for a liddell tales s'all make a gread deal to the credit of Wales; But aull this while was never think a word in praise of our Welse drink, Yet for aull that, is a cup of Bragat, all England S'eere, may cast his Cab-at.

And Oat-cake of Guarthenion, With a goodly Leek, or Onion, To give as sweet a Rellis As ere did Harper, Else. Still, still, &c. Come, his Madestee s'all hear better to your Dance.
Plot summary
Plot — Pleasure Reconciled to Virtue
Comus’ attendants steal Hercules’ cup for use in their drunken orgies. Fresh from kiWing Antaeus, Hercules sees them off, then is lulled to sleep. Some pygmies try to steal his club and avenge Antaeus, but are scared off when he wakes. Mercury proclaims the coming of a time when the opposites of Pleasure and Virtue shall be reconciled: for the time being Hercules does not need to choose between them. Virtue brings forth twelve princes bred inside the mountain, led by Daedalus, who directs and explains their dances as allegories of the interpenetration of virtue and pleasure, then beauty, and finally love. However, pleasure and virtue are only temporarily reconciled: the masquers must return to the mountain, where virtue remains its own reward.
