These lets are but as moths against the sun, Yet not so great, like dust before the wind: Yet not so light. Tut. pacify your grace, You have the sword and sceptre in your hand, You are are the King, the state depends on you: Your will is law, say that the case were mine, Were she my sister whom your highness loves, She should consent, for that our lives, our goods, Depend on you, and if your Queen repine, Although my nature cannot brook of blood, And Scholars grieve to hear of murderous deeds, But if the Lamb should let the lions way, By my advise the Lamb should lose her life. Thus am I bold to speak unto your grace, Who am too base to kiss your royal feet, For I am poor, nor have I land nor rent, Nor countenance here in Court, but for my love, Your Grace shall find none such within the realm. Wilt thou effect my love, shall she be mine? I'll gather Moly-rocus, and the herbs, That heals the wounds of body and the mind, I'll set out charms and spells, nought else shallbe left, To tame the wanton if she shall rebel, Give me but tokens of your highness trust. Thou shalt have gold, honour and wealth enough, Win my Love, and I will make thee great. These words do make me rich most noble Prince, I am more proud of them then any wealth, Did not your grace suppose I flatter you, Believe me I would boldly publish this: Was never eye that saw a sweeter face, Nor never ear that heard a deeper wit, Oh God how I am ravished in your worth. Ateu. Follow me, love must have ease. I'll kiss your highness feet, march when you please. Stand back sir, mine shall stand highest. Come under mine arm sir, or get a footstool, Or else by the light of the Moon, I must come to it. Agree my masters, every man to his height, Though I stand lowest, I hope to get the best master. Ere I will stoop to a thistle, I will change turns, As good luck comes on the right hand, as the left: Here's for me, and me, and mine. But tell me fellows till better occasion come, Do you seek masters? We do. But what can you do worthy preferment? Marry I can smell a knave from a Rat. And I can lick a dish before a Cat. And I can find two fools unsought, How like you that? But in earnest, now tell me of what trades are you two? How mean you that sir, of what trade? Marry I'll tell you, I have many trades, The honest trade when I needs must, The filching trade when time serves, The cozening trade as I find occasion. And I have more qualities, I cannot abide a full cup unkissed, A fat Capon uncarved, A full purse unpicked, Nor a fool to prove a justice as you do.

These lets are but as moaths against the sun, Yet not so great, like dust before the winde: Yet not so light. Tut. pacifie your grace, You haue the sword and scepter in your hand, You are are the King, the state depends on you: Your will is law, say that the case were mine, Were she my sister whom your highnesse loues, She should consent, for that our liues, our goods, Depend on you, and if your Queene repine, Although my nature cannot brooke of blood, And Schollers grieue to heare of murtherous deeds, But if the Lambe should let the Lyons way, By my aduise the Lambe should lose her life. Thus am I bold to speake vnto your grace, Who am too base to kisse your royall feete, For I am poore, nor hae I land nor rent, Nor countenance here in Court, but for my loue, Your Grace shall find none such within the realme. Wilt thou effect my loue, shal she be mine? Ile gather Moly-rocus, and the earbes, That heales the wounds of body and the minde, Ile set out charmes and spels, nought else shalbe left, To tame the wanton if she shall rebell, Giue me but tokens of your highnesse trust. Thou shalt haue gold, honor and wealth inough, Winne my Loue, and I will make thee great. These words do make me rich most noble Prince, I am more proude of them then any wealth, Did not your grace suppose I flatter you, Beleeue me I would boldly publish this: Was neuer eye that sawe a sweeter face, Nor neuer eare that heard a deeper wit, Oh God how I am rauisht in your woorth. Ateu. Follow me, loue must haue ase. Ile kisse your highnesse feet, march when you please. Stand back sir, mine shall stand highest. Come vnder mine arme sir, or get a footstoole, Or else by the light of the Moone, I must come to it. Agree my maisters, euery man to his height, Though I stand lowest, I hope to get the best maister. Ere I will stoupe to a thistle, I will change turnes, As good lucke comes on the right hand, as the left: Here's for me, and me, and mine. But tell me fellowes till better occasion come, Do you seeke maisters? We doo. But what can you do worthie preferment? Marry I can smell a knaue from a Rat. And I can licke a dish before a Cat. And I can finde two fooles vnsought, How like you that? But in earnest, now tell me of what trades are you two? How meane you that sir, of what trade? Marry Ile tell you, I haue many trades, The honest trade when I needs must, The filching trade when time serues, The Cousening trade as I finde occasion. And I haue more qualities, I cannot abide a ful cup vnkist, A fat Capon vncaru'd, A full purse vnpickt, Nor a foole to prooue a Iustice as you do.
