Right martial be thy thoughts my noble son, And all thy words savour of chivalry, But warlike Segar what strange accidents Makes you to leave the warding of the camp. To arms my Lord, to honourable arms, Take helm and targe in hand the Britons come, With greater multitude than erst the Greeks Brought to the ports of Phrygian Tenidos. But what saith Segar to these accidents? What counsel gives he in extremities? Why this my Lord experience teacheth us, That resolution is a sole help at need. And this my Lord our honour teacheth us, That we be bold in every enterprise, Then since there is no way but fight or die, Be resolute my Lord for victory. And resolute Segar I mean to be, Perhaps some blissful star will favour us, And comfort bring to our perplexed state: Come let us in and fortify our camp, So to withstand their strong invasion. Nay neighbour Oliver, if you be so hot, come prepare yourself, you shall find two as stout fellows of us, as any in all the North. No by my dorth neighbour Strumbo, Ich zee dat you are a man of small zideration, dat will zeek to injure your old vreendes, one of your familiar guests, and derefore zeeing your pinion is to deal withouten reason, iche and my zonne William will take dat course, dat shall be farthest vrom reason, how zay you, will you have my daughter or no? A very hard question neighbour, but I will solve it as I may; what reason have you to demand it of me? Marry sir, what reason had you when my sister was in the barn to rumble her upon the haie, and to fish her belly. Mas thou sayst true, well, but would you have me marry her therefore? No I scorn her, and you, and you. ay, I scorn you all. You will not have her then? No as I am a true gentleman. Then will we school you, ere you and we part hence. I you come in pudding time, or else I had dressed them. You master saucebox, lobcock, coxcomb, you slopsauce, lickfingers, will you not hear? Who speak you too, me? ay sir to you, Iohn lack honesty, little wit, is it you that will have none of me? No by my troth, mistress nicebice, how fine you can nickname me, I think you were brought up in the university of bridewell, you have your rhetoric so ready at your tongues end, as if you were never well warned when your were young. Why then goodman cods-head, if you will have none of me, farewell. If you be so plain mistress driggle-draggle, fare you well. Nay master Strumbo, ere you go from hence we must have more words, you will have none of me? Oh my head, my head, leave, leave, leave, I will, I will, I will. Upon that condition I let thee alone.

Right martiall be hy thoughts my noble sonne, And all thy words sauour of chiualrie, But warlike Segar what strange accidents Makes you to leaue the warding of the campe. To armes my Lord, to honourable armes, Take helme and targe in hand the Brittaines come, With greater multitde then erst the Greekes Brought to the ports of Phrigian Tenidos. But what saith Segar to these accidents? What counsell giues he in extremities? Why this my Lord experience teacheth vs, That resolution is a sole helpe at need. And this my Lord our honour teacheth vs, That we be bold in euerie enterprise, Then since there is no way but fight or die, Be resolute my Lord for victorie. And resolute Segar I meane to be, Perhaps some blifull starre will fauour vs, And comort bring to our perplexed state: Come let vs in and fortifie our campe, So to withstand their strong inuasion. Nay neighbour Oliuer, if you be so whot, come prepare your selfe, you shall finde two as stout fellowes of vs, as any in all the North.
