I'll in to weep. But I my gall to grate. I'll laugh at time, till it will change our Fate. Thou art not what thou seem'st, Lord Scevola, Thy heart mourns in thee, though thy visage smile, And so does thy soul weep, Valerius, Although thy habit sing, for these new humours Are but put on for safety, and to arm them Against the pride of Tarquin, from whose danger, None great in love, in counsel or opinion Can be kept safe: this makes me lose my hours At home with Lucrece, and abandon court. Fortune I embrace thee, that thou hast assisted me in finding my master, the Gods of good Rome keep my Lord and master out of all bad company. Sirrah the news with you. Would you ha' Court news, Camp news, City news or Country news, or would you know what's the news at home? Let me know all the news. The news at Court is, that a small leg and a silk stocking are in fashion for your Lord: And the water that god Mercury makes is in request with your Lady. The heaviness of the king's wine makes many a light head, and the emptiness of his dishes many full bellies, eating & drinking was never more in use; you shall find the baddest legs in boots, and the worst faces in masks. They keep their old stomachs still, the kings good Cook hath the most wrong: for that which was wont to be private only to him, is now usurped among all the other officers: for now every man in his place to the prejudice of the master Cook, makes bold to lick his own fingers. The news in the Camp. The greatest news in the camp is, that there is no news at all, for being no camp at all, how can there be any tidings from it? Then for the Camp. The Senators are rich, their wives fair, credit grows cheap and traffic dear, for you ha' many that are broke, the poorest man that is, may take up what he will, so he will be but bound to a post, till he pay the debt: There was one Courtier, lay with twelve men's wives in the suburbs, and pressing further to make one more cuckold within the walls, and being taken with the manner, had nothing to say for himself, but this, he that made twelve made thirteen. Now Sir for the Country. There is no news there but at the Alehouse, there's the most receipt, and is it not strange my Lord, that so many men love ale that know not what ale is. Why, what is ale? Why ale is a kind of juice, made of the precious grain called Malt: & what is Malt? Malt's MALT. and what is MALT M much, A ale, L little, T thrift, all is, much ale's, little thrist.
