To dance for the honour of Holloway. _Ed._ Well said, my boys, I must have my lord's livery; what is't, a maypole? troth, 'twere a good body for a courtier's impreza, if it had but this life--_Frustra storescit_. Hold, cousin, hold. (_He gives the fool money_.) _Fool_. Thanks, cousin, when the lord my father's audit comes, we'll repay you again, your benevolence too, sir. _Mam._ What! a lord's son become a beggar! _Fool_. Why not, when beggars are become lord's sons. Come, 'tis but a trifle. _Mam._ Oh, sir, many a small make a great. _Fool_. No, sir, a few great make a many small. Come, my lords, poor and needy hath no law. _Ed._ Nor necessity no right. Drum, down with them into the cellar. Rest content, rest content, one bout more, and then away. _Fool_. Spoke like a true heart; I kiss thy foot, sweet knight. (_The Morrice sing and dance, and exeunt_.) SWAINE. |
