Arm. For the rest of the Worthies?

Hol. I will play three myself.

Moth. Thrice-worthy gentleman!

Arm. Shall I tell you a thing?

Hol. We attend.

Arm. We will have, if this fadge not, an antic. I beseech you follow.

Hol. Via, goodman Dull! thou hast spoken no word all this while.

Dull. Nor understood none neither, sir.

Hol. [Allons!] we will employ thee.

Dull.

I’ll make one in a dance, or so; or I will play

On the tabor to the Worthies, and let them dance the hay.

Hol.

Most dull, honest Dull! to our sport; away!

Exeunt.

¶

Enter the Ladies: [the Princess, Maria, Katherine, and Rosaline].

Prin.

Sweet hearts, we shall be rich ere we depart,

If fairings come thus plentifully in.

A lady wall’d about with diamonds!

Look you what I have from the loving King.

Ros.

Madam, came nothing else along with that?

Prin.

Nothing but this? Yes, as much love in rhyme

As would be cramm’d up in a sheet of paper,

Writ a’ both sides the leaf, margent and all,

That he was fain to seal on Cupid’s name.
