And why? because in seeking friends, I found table guests to eat me, & my meat, my wives gossips to bewray the secrets of my heart, kindred to betray the effect of my life, which when I noted, the court ill, the country worse, and the city worst of all, in good time my wife died: ay wood she had died twenty winter sooner by the mass, leaving my two sons to the world, and shutting myself into this Tomb, where if I die, I am sure I am safe from wild beasts, but whilst I live, cannot be free from ill company. Besides, now I am sure give all my friends fail me, I sall have a grave of mine own providing: this is all. Now what art thou? Oberon King of Fairies, that loves thee because thou hatest the world, and to gratulate thee, I brought those Antiques to show thee some sport in dancing, which thou hast loved well. Ha, ha, ha, thinkest thou those puppets can please me? whay I have two sons, that with one scottish gig shall break the neck of thy Antiques. That would I fain see. Why thou shalt, how boys. Haud your clacks lads, trattle not for thy life, but gather up your legs and dance me forthwith a gig worth the sight. Why I must talk on Idy fort, wherefore was my tongue made. Prattle an thou darest e'en word more, and ais dab this whiniard in thy wembe. Be quiet Bohan, I'll strike him dumb, and his brother too, their talk shall not hinder our jig, fall to it, dance I say man. Dance Humer, dance, ay rid thee. Now get you to the wide world with more than my father gave me, that's learning enough, both kinds, knavery & honesty: and that I gave you, spend at pleasure. Nay for their sport I will give them this gift, to the Dwarf I give a quick wit, pretty of body, and a warrant his preferment to a PRINCE's service, where by his wisdom he shall gain more love than common. And to loggerhead your son, I give a wandering life, and promise he shall never lack: and avow that if in all distresses he call upon me to help him: now let them go. Now King, if thou be a King, I will show thee whay I hate the world by demonstration, in the year 1520. was in Scotland, a king overruled with parasites, misled by lust, & many circumstances, too long to trattle on now, much like our court of Scotland this day, that story have I set down, gang with me to the gallery, & I'll show thee the same in Action, by guide fellows of our country men, and then when thou seest that, judge if any wise man would not leave the world if he could. That will I see, lead and i'll follow thee.
