Boyet.

Hang me by the neck if horns that year miscarry.

Finely put on!

Ros.

Boyet.

And who is your deer?

Ros.

If we choose by the horns, yourself come not near.

Finely put on indeed!

Mar.

Boyet.

Boyet. So I may answer thee with one as old, that was a woman when Queen Guinover of Britain was a little wench, as touching the hit it.

Ros. [Sings.]

Thou canst not hit it, hit it, hit it,

Thou canst not hit it, my good man.
