Armado [a’ th’ one] side—O, a most dainty man!
To see him walk before a lady and to bear her fan!
To see him kiss his hand! and how most sweetly ’a will swear!
And his page a’ t’ other side, that handful of wit!
Ah, heavens, it is [a] most pathetical nit!
[Shout] within.
Sola, sola!
Exit.

[Scene II]
Enter Dull, Holofernes the Pedant, and Nathaniel [from watching the hunt].
Nath. Very reverent sport truly, and done in the testimony of a good conscience.
Hol. The deer was (as you know) sanguis, in blood, ripe as the pomewater, who now hangeth like a jewel in the ear of caelo, the sky, the welkin, the heaven, and anon falleth like a crab on the face of terra, the soil, the land, the earth.
Nath. Truly, Master Holofernes, the epithites are sweetly varied, like a scholar at the least; but, sir, I assure ye it was a buck of the first head.
Hol. Sir Nathaniel, haud credo.
Dull. ’Twas not a haud credo, ’twas a pricket.
Hol.
