This gentle news of good Will, are come to make you sound, They know which way to salve your sore, and how to cure your wound Good sir be ruled by her then, and pluck your spirit to you: There is no doubt, but you shall found, your loving lady true. Ah Will art thou alive, that doth my heart some ease, The sight of the sweet boy, my sorrows doth appease: How hast thou scaped, what fortune the befell? It was no trusting to my hands, my heels did serve me well I ran with open mouth, to cry for help amain, And as good fortune would, I hit upon these twain. I thank both thee and them, what will ye have me do. To rise and dance a little space with us two? What then. That done, repair again to Study and Instruction, Take better hold by their advise, your foe to set upon. Can any recompense recover this my fall? My life to yours it may be mended all. Speak Will. I have no doubt sir it shallbe as you would wish. But yet this repulse of mine, they will lay in my dish. No man shall let them know thereof, unless yourself do it. On that condition a god's name, fall we to it. Nay stand we to it, and let us fall no more. Will dancing serve, and I will dance until my bones be sore, Pipe us up a Galliard minstrel, to begin, Let will call for dances, one after an other. Come Damsel in good faith and let me have you in. Let him practise in dancing all things to make himself brethles. Enough at once, now leave, and let us part. This exercise hath done me good, even to the very heart. Let us be bold with you more acquaintance to take And dance a round, yet once more for my sake, Enough is enough, farewell, and at your need: Use my acquaintance if it may stand you in steed. Right worthy Damsels both, I know you seek no gains, In recompense of this desert your undeserved pains. But look what other thing my service may devise, To show my thankful heart in any enterprise. Be ye as bold therewith, as I am bold on you, And thus with hearty thanks, I take my leave as now. Farewell friend wit, and since you are relieved, Think not upon your foil, whereat you were so grieved. But take your heart to you, and give attempt once more: I warrant you to speed, much better than before. One dance for the and me, my boy come on. Dance you sir if you please, and I will look upon. This gear doth make me sweat, and breathe a pace. Sir ease your yourself a while, hear is a resting place. Home Will and make my bed, for I will take a nap. Sure and it please your mastership here in my Dame's lap.
