COme, now my head's in, I'll even venture the whole: I ha' seen the Lions ere now, and he that hath seen them may see the King. I think he may; but have a care you go not too high (neighbour Notch) lest you chance to have a Tally made of your pate, and be clawed with a cudgel; there is as much danger going too near the King, as the Lions. Wither? whither now gamesters? what is the business? the affaire? stop I beseech you. This must be an Officer, or nothing, he is so pert and brief in his demands! a pretty man! and a pretty man is a little o''is side nothing; howsoever we must not be daunted now, I am sure I am a greater man than he out of the Court, and I have lost nothing of my Sire since I came to it. Heyda! what's this? A hogshead of beer broke out of the King's buttery, ro some Dutch Hulk! whether are you bound? The wind is against you, you must back; do you know where you are? Yes sir, if we be not mistaken, we are at the Court, and would be glad to speak with something of less authority, and more wit, that knows a little in the place. Sir, I know as little as any man in the place; speak, what is your business? I am an Officer, Groom of the Revels, that is my place. To fetch Bonge of Court a parcel of invisible bread, and beer for the Players (for they never see it) or to mistake six Torches from the Chandry, and give them one. How sir? Come, this is not the first time you have carried coals to your own house, I mean that should have warmed them. Sir, I may do it by my place, and I must question you farther. Be not so musty sir, our desire is only to know whether the King's Majesty, and the Court expect any disguise here to night. Disguise! what mean you by that? do you think that his Majesty sits here to expect drunkards? Not, if he did, I believe you would supply that place better than you do this: Disguise was the old English word for a Masque sir, before you were an implement belonging to the Revels. There is no such word in the Office now I assure you sir, I have served here, man, and boy a Prenticeship or twain, and I should know. But, by what name so ever you call it, here will be a Masque, and shall be a Masque, when you and the rest of your Comrogues shall sit disguised in the stocks. Sure by your language you were never meant for a Courtier, howsoever it hath been your ill fortune to be taken out of the nest young; you are some Constable's egg, some such Widgeon of Authority, you are so easily offended! Our coming was to show our love's sir, and to make a little merry with his Majesty to night, and we have brought a Masque with us, if his Majesty had not been better provided. Who you? you a Masque? why you stink like so many bloat-herrings newly taken out of the chimney! In the name of Ignorance, whence came you? or what are you? you have been hanged in the smoke sufficiently, that is smelled out already.

COme, now my head's in, Ile even venture the whole: I ha ſeene the Lyons ere now, and he that hath ſeene them may ſee the King. I think he may; but have a care you go not too high (neighbour Notch) leaſt you chance to have a Tally made of your pate, and bee clawed with a cudgell; there is as much danger going too neere the King, as the Lyons. Whither? whither now gameſters? what is the buſineſſe? the affaire? ſtop I beſeech you. This muſt be an Officer, or nothing, he is ſo peart and breife in his demands! a pretty man! and a pretty man is a little o'this ſide nothing; howſoever we muſt not be daunted now, I am ſure I am a greater man than he out of the Court, and I have loſt nothing of my Sire ſince I came to it. Hey-da! what's this? A hogſhead of beere broake out of the Kings buttery, ro ſome Dutch Hulke! whether are you bound? The winde is againſt you, you muſt backe; doe you know where you are? Yes ſir, if we bee not miſtaken, we are at the Court, and would be glad to ſpeake with ſomething of leſſe authority, and more wit, that knowes a little in the place. Sir, I know as little as any man in the place; ſpeake, what is your buſineſſe? I am an Officer, Groome of the Revels, that is my place. To fetch Bonge of Court a parcell of inviſible bread, and beere for the Plaiers (for they never ſee it) or to miſtake ſixe Torches from the Chandry, and give them one. How ſir? Come, this is not the firſt time you have carried coales to your owne houſe, I meane that ſhould have warm'd them. Sir, I may doe it by my place, and I muſt queſtion you farther. Be not ſo muſty ſir, our deſire is only to know whether the Kings Majeſty, and the Court expect any diſguiſe here to night. Diſguiſe! what meane you by that? doe you thinke that his Majeſty ſits here to expect drunkards? No, if hee did, I beleeve you would ſupply that place better then you do this: Diſguiſe was the old Engliſh word for a Maſque ſir, before you were an implement belonging to the Revels. There is no ſuch word in the Office now I aſſure you ſir, I have ſerv'd here, man, and boy a Prentiſhip or twaine, and I ſhould know. But, by what name ſo ever you call it, here will be a Maſque, and ſhall be a Maſque, when you and the reſt of your Comrogues ſhall ſit diſguiſ'd in the ſtocks. Sure by your language you were never meant for a Courier, howſoever it hath beene your ill fortune to be taken out of the neſt young; you are ſome Conſtables egge, ſome ſuch Widgin of Authoritie, you are ſo eaſily offended! Our comming was to ſhew our loves ſir, and to make a little merry with his Majeſty to night, and we have brought a Maſque with us, if his Majeſtie had not beene better provided. Who you? you a Maſque? why you ſtincke like ſo many bloat-herrings newly taken out of the chimney! In the name of Ignorance, whence came you? or what are you? you have beene hang'd in the ſmoake ſufficiently, that is ſmelt out alreadie.
