Lest men discover us.
_Hig._ Yes; and cry sometimes, To move compassion: Sir, there is a table, That doth command all these things, and enjoyns 'em, Be perfect in their crutches, their feign'd plaisters, And their torn pass-ports, with the ways to stammer, And to be dumb, and deaf, and blind, and lame, There, all the halting paces are set down, I'th' learned language. _Clau._ Thither I refer them, Those, you at leisure shall interpret to them. We love no heaps of laws, where few will serve. _Om._ O gracious Prince, 'save, 'save the good King _Clause_. _Hig._ A Song to crown him. _Fer._ Set a Centinel out first. _Snap._ The word? _Hig._ A Cove comes, and fumbumbis to it.-- _Strike._ _The SONG. Cast our Caps and cares away: this is Beggars Holy-day, At the Crowning of our King, thus we ever dance and sing. In the world look out and see: where's so happy a Prince as he? |
