Yes that I can, 'tis this, my master and Amadins walking one day abroad, nearer to these woods than they were used, about what I can not tell, but toward them comes running a great bear, now my master he played the man and run away, & Amadine crying after him: now sir comes me a shepherd & strikes off the bears head, now whether the bear where dead before or no I cannot tell for bring twenty bears before me and bind their hands & feet and i'll kill them all: now ever since Amadine hath been in love with the shepherd, and for good will she's even run away with the shepherd. What manner of man was a, canst describe him unto me; Scrib him aye I warrant you that I can, a was a little, low, broad, tall, narrow, big well favoured fellow, a jerkin of whit cloth, and buttons of the same cloth Thou describest him well, but if I chance to see any such pray you where shall I find you, or what's your name My name is called master mouse, Oh master mouse, I pray you what office might you bear in the court? Marry sir I am a rusher of the stable. O usher of the table- Nay I say rusher and i'll prove mine office good, for look sir when any comes from under the sea or so, and a dog chance to blow his nose backward, then with a whip I give him the good time of the day, and straw rushes presently, therefore I am a rusher, a high office I promise ye. But where shall I find you in the Court? Why where it is best being, either in he kitchen a eating or in the buttery drinking: but if you come I will provide for thee a piece of beef & brew is knockle deep in fat, pray you take pains remember master mouse. Ay sir, I warrant I will not forget you. Ah Amadine, what should become of the. whither shouldst thou go so long unknown. with watch and ward each passage is beset, So that she cannot long escape unknown: Doubtless she hath lost her self within these woods out And wandering too and fro she seeks the well, Which yet she cannot find, therefore will I sack hers, Amadine, how like you Bremo & his woods? As like the woods of Bremo's cruelty, Though I were dumb and could not answer him, The beasts themselves would with relenting tears Bewail thy savage and unhumaine deeds. My love, why dost thou murmur to thyself? Speak louder, for thy Bremo hears thee not. My Bremo, no the shepherd is my love.
