I relish your opinion. Lords of France you may depart at pleasure. Prosperity, and peace ever twixt France, and England. Amen saith England; when France forgets her pride England will honour her, Come my co-mates in war, Our Soldiers instantly shall march for Berwick, The Duke of Norfolk, waits their arrival. Sir Francis Leake shall give them safe conduct, You, Arguile, Clifton, and myself With expedition are for Nottingham, To meet our peerless princess Elizabeth Who in her progress there will lay her Court. Arguile shall there receive the hostages Due to the federary Lords of Scotland, we'll turn war's clangours into music's sweet, And like new vested pares in wedlock meet What if it were a Puppet-play? Absurd! absurd! they'll be out in turning up the white of the eyes, beside, there's none of us can speak i'th' nose. Yes, Joshua; Most abominable! wouldst thou have a Puritan speak to a Play; a Puppet Play! thou ought'st to be burned for thy heretical conceit, why thou poisoned souter, wouldst thou have a Puritan speak to a Play? still give me the hobby-Horse. But who shall play the hobby-Horse, Master Major? I hope, I look, as like a hobby-Horse as Master Major I have not lived to these years, but a man would think I should be old enough, and wise enough, to play the hobby-Horse, as well as ever a Major on'em all; Not so, choleric Miles. Let the Major play the hobby-Horse among his brethren, and he will; I hope our Town Lads cannot want a hobby-Horse, have I practised my Reins my careers, my prankers, my Ambles, my false trots, my smooth Ambles, and Canterbury Paces, and shall Master Major put me besides the hobby-Horse? Thou wilt not understand me Miles! I am an ass if I do not; have I borrowed the fore Horsebells his Plumes, and braveries, nay had his mane new shorn, and frizzled, and shall the Major put me besides the hobby-Horse? let him hobby-Horse at home, and he will! Thou art impatient. Wooed it not make a man impatient; am I not going to buy ribbons, and toys of sweet Ursula for the Marian, and shall not I play the hobby-Horse? Why then, let the Major speak the Oration; Disgraceful, am not I able to make a narration to the Prince, I have played a Major in my time, with as good dacity as e'er a hobby-Horse on'em all; and the Major will prompt me, let him, he shall find, i'll stand out like a man of Coventry. What shall Joshua do? Not know of it by any means, he'll keep more stir with the hobby-Horse, than he did with the Pipers at Tedbury Bull-running; provide thou for the Dragon, and leave me for a hobby-Horse. Fear not, i'll be a fiery Dragon,
