_Enter Alenso sad_. Mas, here a comes: his downcast sullen looke, Is over-waigh'd with mightie discontent.-- I hope the brat is posted to his sire, That he is growne so lazie of his pace; Forgetfull of his dutie, and his tongue Is even fast tyde with strings of heavinesse.-- Come hether, boye! sawst thou my obstacle, That little _Dromus_ that crept into my sonne, With friendly hand remoov'd and thrust away?

Speake softly, sonne, let not thy mother heare; She was almost dead before for very feare. _Allen_.

Would I could bellow like enraged Buls, Whose harts are full of indignation, To be captiv'd by humaine pollicie! Would I could thunder like Almightie _Ioue_, That sends his farre-heard voice to terrifie |
