Why thou sayst the frenchmen took him away. Frenchmen, ay, so they did too, but yet and he had not been killed, 'twood near a grieved me. O excellent unity of speech. Save ye knights. Save you Captain. Pages, welcome my fine pages. Welcome boys. Welcome sweet Will, good Jack. But how chance you are so far from London now pages, is it not almost dinner time. Yes indeed Sir, but we left our fellows to wait for once, and could not choose in pure love to your worships, but we must needs come and meet you, before you met our Ladies, to tell you a secret. A secret, what secret I pray thee? If ever your worships say any thing, we are undone for ever. Not for a world believe it. Why then this it is; we overheard our Ladies as they were talking in private say they refused to meet you at Barnet this morning of purpose, because they wood try which of you were most patient. And some said you, Sir Gyles, another you Sir and the third you Captain, This was excellent. Then did they swear one another not to excuse themselves to you by any means, that they might try you the better, now if they shall see you say nothing in the world to them, what may come of it, when Ladies begin to try their suitors once, I hope your wisdoms can judge a little. O ho my little knave let us alone now i'faith, wood I might be cashiered, if I say any thing. Faith and I can forbear my Tongue as well as another I hope. Wood I might be degraded if I speak a word, I'll tell them I care not for losing my labour. Come knights shall we not reward the pages? Yes I prithee do, Sir Gyles give the boys something. Never stir Sir Cutt, if I have ever a groat about me but one three pence. Well knights i'll lay out for'rs all, here my fine pages. No in deed an't please your worship. O pages refuse a gentleman's bounty. Cry you mercy Sir, thank you sweet Captain And what other news is stirring my fine villiacos. Marry Sir they are invited to a great supper tonight to your Lords house Captain, the Lord Furnifall, and there will be your great cozen Sir Gyles Goosecap, the Lord Tales, and your uncle Sir Cutt. Rudesby, Sir Cutbert Kingcob. The Lord Tales, what countryman is he? A kentish Lord Sir, his ancestors came forth off Canterburie. Out of Canterburie. I indeed Sir the best Tales in England are your Canterburie tales, I assure ye. the boy tells thee true Captain. He writes his name Sir, Tales, and he being the tenth son his father had; his father christened him Decem Tales, and so his whole name is the Lord Decem Tales.
