doth owe. A dangerous rhyme, master, against the reason of white and red. Is there not a ballad, boy, of the King and the Beggar? The world was very guilty of such a ballad some three ages since: but I think now 'tis not to be found; or, if it were, it would neither serve for the writing nor the tune. I will have that subject newly writ o'er, that I may example my digression by some mighty precedent. Boy, I do love that country girl that I took in the park with the rational hind Costard: she deserves well. To be whipped; and yet a better love than my master. Sing, boy; my spirit grows heavy in love. And that's great marvel, loving a light wench. I say, sing. Forbear till this company be past. Sir, the duke's pleasure is, that you keep Costard safe: and you must suffer him to take no delight nor no penance; but a' must fast three days a week. For this damsel, I must keep her at the park: she is allowed for the day-woman. Fare you well. I do betray myself with blushing. Maid! Man? I will visit thee at the lodge. That's hereby. I know where it is situate. Lord, how wise you are! I will tell thee wonders. With that face? I love thee. So I heard you say. And so, farewell. Fair weather after you! Come, Jaquenetta, away! Villain, thou shalt fast for thy offences ere thou be pardoned. Well, sir, I hope, when I do it, I shall do it on a full stomach. Thou shalt be heavily punished. I am more bound to you than your fellows, for they are but lightly rewarded. Take away this villain; shut him up. Come, you transgressing slave; away! Let me not be pent up, sir: I will fast, being loose. No, sir; that were fast and loose: thou shalt to prison. Well, if ever I do see the merry days of desolation that I have seen, some shall see. What shall some see? Nay, nothing, Master Moth, but what they look upon. It is not for prisoners to be too silent in their words; and therefore I will say nothing: I thank God I have as little patience as another man; and therefore I can be quiet. I do affect the very ground, which is base, where her shoe, which is baser, guided by her foot, which is basest, doth tread. I shall be forsworn, which is a great argument of falsehood
