Run Redcap, run Redcap. Art thou the Porter's son, that was condemned about my brother Gloster? I g g God be with ye, I am the p p Porters son, I m must r run to s s seek your b br brother. Well, drink that fellow, if thou find my brother be not too violent, and I'll reward thee. I th' th' thank ye h heartily, and I had not been cozened with Sk Skinke, I had no nee need of these jam iaunts, for Gl Gloster was s safe enough. Ah farewell Redcap. Fa far we well and be ha hang. You'll never leave your knavery, whose there more? One Madam that hath commendations to you from your brother. Comest thou from Gloster? thou art welcome friend O its one of the kindest Ladies (though she will now & then have about with Block) that ever breathed and she had been in her mood now, Redcap would have made her such sp sp sport as't a pa pa past. Will you make sport and see who knocks again? Our gates are like an anvil, from four to ten, nothing but knicke a knock upon't. Will you be gone sir? honest friend I am glad My brother Gloster got thy liberty, Whose flight was cause of thy captivity: Nor shall there be in us such negligence, Though thou have lost thy Office and thy house, But we will see thee better far provided, Than when thou wert porter in the Fleet. Madam your old friend Prince Richard, All alone, making moan, fetching many a grievous groan. Prince Richard come so late? lights to his chamber, Sirrah, in any case say I am sick. Very sick, sick and like to die: I'll sing it and you wil. Away ye knave, tell him, in the morning I'll humbly wait upon his excellence. That's all his desire to have ye lowly and humble, and 'tis a courteous thing in a Lady. Hence, or else i'll set you hence: go in good friend. Come Lady Faukenbridge, it's time to come, Robin can hold out no longer I see, Hot wooers will be tempters presently. Now holy Skinke in thy religious weed, Look out for purchase, or thy wont client's: Warrant quoth you, I was fairly warrented, Young Robin Hood the Earl of Huntingdon, Shall never fetch me more unto his Prince. But pauca verba Skinke, a prize, a prize, By th'mass a pretty girl, close Hermit close, O'erhear if thou canst, what she desires, For so my cunning and my credit spreads. See how affection arms my feeble strength, To this so desperate journeying all alone, While Robin Hood young Earl of Huntingdon, Plays Lady Faukenbridge for me at home. What mystery is this? the Lady Faukenbridge, It's she, sweet fortune thou hast sent her well, I will entice this morsel to my Cell: Her husband's jealous, I will give him cause, As he believes, I hope it shall succeed; Nay 'swounds it shall, she's mine in scorn of speed.
