The King my Lord, and Harry prince of Wales, Are near at hand, the rest the paper tells. As I am a gentleman! Faith you said so before. As I am a gentleman, come, no more words of it. By this heaunly ground I tread on, I must be feign to pawn both my plate, & the tapestry of my dining chambers- Glasses glasses is the only drinking, and for thy walls a pretty sleight drollery, or the story of the prodigal, or the jarman hunting in waterworke, is worth a thousand of these bed-hangers, and these fly bitten tapestry, let it be x. ● if thou canst: come, and 'ttwere not for thy humours, there's not a better wench in England, go wash thy face and draw the action, come thou must not be in this humour with me, dost not know me, come, come, I know thou wast set on to this. Pray thee sir Iohn let it be but twenty nobles, i'faith I am loath to pawn my p●●te so God save me law. Let it alone, i'll make other shift, you'll be a fool stil. Well, you shall have it, though I pawn my gown, I hope you'll come to supper, you'll pay me altogether. Will I live? go with her, with her, hook on, hook on. Will you have Doll Tere-sheet meet you at supper. No more words, let's have her. I have heard better news. What's the news my lord? Where lay the King to night? At Billingsgate my Lord. I hope my Lord als well, what is the news my lord? Come all his forces back? No, fifteen hundred foot, five hundred horse Are marched up to my lord of Lancaster, Against Northumberland, and the Archbishop. Comes the King back from Wales, my noble lord? You shall have letters of me presently, Come, go along with me, good master Gower. My lord. What's the matter? Master Gower, shall I entreat you with me to dinner? I must wait upon my good lord here, I thank you good sir Iohn. Sir Iohn, you loiter here too long, Being you are to take soldiers up In Counties as you go. Will you sup with me master Gower? What foolish master taught you these manners, sir Iohn? Master Gower, if they become me not, he was a fool that taught them me: this is the right fencing grace, my Lord, tap for tap, and so part fair. Now the Lord lighten thee, thou art a great fool. Before God, I am exceeding weary. Is't come to that? I had thought weariness durst not have attached one of so high blood. Faith it does me, though it discolors the complexion of my greatness to acknowledge it: doth it not show vildly in me to desire small beer? Why a Prince should not be so loosely studied, as to remember so weak a composition.
