Must not be shed by such a iaded Groome:
Hast thou not kist thy hand, and held my stirrop? Bare-headed plodded by my foot-cloth Mule, And thought thee happy when I shooke my head. How often hast thou waited at my cup, Fed from my Trencher, kneel'd downe at the boord, When I haue feasted with Queene Margaret? Remember it, and let it make thee Crest-falne, I, and alay this thy abortiue Pride: How in our voyding Lobby hast thou stood, And duly wayted for my comming forth? This hand of mine hath writ in thy behalfe, And therefore shall it charme thy riotous tongue Whit. Speak Captaine, shall I stab the forlorn Swain Lieu. First let my words stab him, as he hath me Suf. Base slaue, thy words are blunt, and so art thou Lieu. Conuey him hence, and on our long boats side, Strike off his head Suf. Thou dar'st not for thy owne Lieu. Poole, Sir Poole? Lord, I kennell, puddle, sinke, whose filth and dirt Troubles the siluer Spring, where England drinkes: Now will I dam vp this thy yawning mouth, For swallowing the Treasure of the Realme. |
