Oh that I knew which were the best of twain, Which for I do not, I am sick with pain. How now sir boy, what is the news with you? The Gentleman forsooth the other day, That would have bought the jewel at our stall, Is here to speak with ye. Oh God it is the King. Good mistress Blague withdraw ye from this place, Oh come anon, so soon as he is gone, And sirrah get you to the shop again. Now mistress Shore bethink ye what to do. Such suitors come not every day to woo. Thou mayst convict me (beauty's pride) of boldness, That I intrude like an unbidden guest, But love being guide, my fault will seem the less. Most welcome to your subjects homely roof, The foot my Sovereign, seldom doth offend, Unless the heart some other hurt intend. The most thou seest is hurt unto myself How for thy sake, is majesty disrobed? Riches made poor, and dignity brought low, Only that thou mightst our affection know. The more the pity, that within the sky, The sun that should all other vapours dry, And guide the world with his most glorious light Is muffled up himself in wilful night. The want of thee, fair Cinthia is the cause, Spread thou thy silver-brightness in the air, And straight the gladsome morning will appear. I may not wander, he that guides my car, Is an immoved, constant, fixed star, But I will give that star a comets name, And shield both thee and him from further blame. How if the host of heaven at this abuse Kepine? who can the prodigy excuse? It lies within the compass of my power, To dim their envious eyes, dare seem to lower, But leaving this our enigmatic talk, Thou must sweet Iane repair unto the Court, His tongue entreats, controls the greatest peer, His hand plights love, a royal sceptre holds, And in his heart be hath confirmed thy good, Which may not, must not, shall not be withstood. If you enforce me, I have nought to say, But wish I had not lived to see this day. Blame not the time, thou shalt have cause to soy. Iane in the evening I will send for thee, And thou and thine shall be advanced by me. In sign whereof receive this true-Love kiss, Nothing ill meant, there can be no amiss. Well I will in, and ere the time begin, Learn how to be repentant for my sin. But cousin Shore, are ye assured it was the King you saw in such disguise? Do I know you the uncle to my wife? know I Frank Emersley her brother here? so surely do I know that counterfeit to be King. Well, admit all this. And that his Majesty in such disguise, please to survey the manner of our City, or what occasion else may like himself. methinks you have small reason brother Shore, to be displeased thereat.

Oh that I knew which were the best of twain, Which for I do not, I am sick with paine. How now sir boy, what is the newes with you? The Gentleman forsooth the other day, That would haue bought the iewell at our stall, Is here to speake with yee. Oh God it is the King. Good mistresse Blague withdraw ye from this place, Oh come anon, so soone as he is gone, And sirra get you to the shop againe. Now mistris Shoare bethink ye what to do. Such suters come not euerie day to wooe. Thou maist conuid me (beauties pride) of boldnes, That I intrude like an vnbidden guest, But loue being guide, my fault will séem the lesse. Most welcome to your subiects homely roofe, The foote my Soueraigne, seldome doth offend, Vnlesse the heart some other hurt intend. The most thou seest is hurt vnto my selfe How for thy sake, is maiestie disroabde? Riches made poore, and dignitie brought low, Onely that thou mightst our affection know. The more the pittie, that within the skie, The sunne that should all other vapours drie, And guide the world with his most glorious light Is muffled vp himselfe in full night. The want of thée, faire Cinthia is the cause, Spread thou thy siluer-brightnesse in the aire, And strait the gladsome morning will appeare. I may not wander, he that guides my carre, Is an imnooued, constant, fixed starre, But I will giue that starre a comets name, And shied both thée and him from further blame. How if the host of heauen at this abuse Kepine? who can the prodige excuse? It lies within the compasse of my powre, To dim their enuous eies, dare séeme to lowre, But leauing this our Enigmatike talke, Thou must sweet Iane repaire vnto the Court, His tongue intreats, controls the greatest péere, His hand plights loue, a royall scepter holds, And in his heart bee hath confirmde thy good, Which may not, must not, shal not be withstood. If you enforce me, I haue nought to say, But wish I had not liude to see this day. Blame not the time, thou shalt hue cause to soy. Iane in the eueniug I will send for thee, And thou and thine shall bee aduancde by mee. In signe whereof receiue this true-loue kisse, Nothing il meant, there can be no amisse. Well I will in, and ere the time beginne, Learne how to be repentant for my sinne. But Cosin Shoare, are yee assurde it was the King you saw in such disguise? Do I know you the vncle to my wife? know I Franke Emersley her brother here? so surely doe I know that counterseit to bee King. Well, admit all this. And that his Maiestie in such disguise, please to suruey the maner of our City, or what occasion else may like himselfe. Mee thinks you haue small reason brother Shoare, to be displeasde thereat.
