He is beholding to you greatly sir: Mount ye brave Lordings, forwards to the tilt, myself will censure of your chivalry, And with impartial eyes behold your deeds, Forward brave Ladies, place you to behold The fair demeanour of these warlike Knights. I am melancholy: an humour of Venus beleaguereth me. I have rejected with contemptible frowns, The sweet glances of many amorous girls, or rather ladies: But certes, I am now captivated with the reflecting eye Of that admirable comet Perseda. I will place her to behold my triumphs, And do wonders in her sight, O heavens, she comes, accompanied with a child, Whose chin bears no impression of manhood, Not an hair, not an excrement. My sweet Perseda. Peace Infant thou blasphemest. You are deceived sir, he swore not, I tell thee jester he did worse, he called that Lady his, jester: O extempore, o flores! O harsh uneducate, illiterate peasant, Thou abusest the phrase of the Latin. By God's fish friend, take you the Latins part, i'll abuse you to. What sans dread of our indignation? sans: what language is that? I think thou art a word maker by thine occupation. ay, termest thou me of an occupation, Nay then this fiery humour of choler is suppressed, By the thought of love. Fair Lady, Now by my troth she is gone. ay, hath the Infant transported her hence, He saw my anger figured in my brow, And at his best advantage stole away, But I will follow for revenge. Nay, but hear you sir, I must talk with you before you go. O if thou be'st magnanimous, come before me. Nay, if thou be'st a right warrior, get from under me. What wouldst thou have me a Typhon, To bear up Peleon or Ossa? Typhon me no Typhons, But swear upon my dudgeon dagger, Not to go till I give thee leave, But stay with me, and look upon the tilters. O thou seekst thereby to dim my glory. I care not for that, wilt thou not swear? O I swear, I swear. By the contents of this blade, By the contents of this blade, I the aforesaid Basilisco, I the aforesaid Basilisco, Knight good fellow, knight, knight. Knave good fellow, knave, knave. Will not offer to go from the side of Piston. Will not offer to go from the side of Piston, Without the leave of the said Piston obtained, Without the leave of the said Piston, Licenced, obtained and granted. Enjoy thy life and live, I give it thee. I enjoy my life at thy hands, I confess it, I am up, but that I am religious in mine oath, What would you do sir, what would you do, Will you up the ladder sir, and see the tilting. Better a Dog fawn on me, than bark, Now sir, how likes thou this course. Their Lances were couched too high, And their Steeds ill borne.
