The knight's not yet apparent.--Marry, here's a forerunner
that summons a parle, and saith, he'll be here top and top- gallant presently. CLARE. Tis well, good mine host; go down, and see breakfast be provided. HOST. Knight, thy breath hath the force of a woman, it takes me down; I am for the baser element of the kitchen: I retire like a valiant soldier, face point blank to the foe-man, or, like a Courtier, that must not shew the Prince his posteriors; vanish to know my canuasadoes, and my interrogatories, for I serve the good Duke of Norfolk. [Exit.] CLARE. How doth my Lady? are you not weary, Madam? Come hither, I must talk in private with you; My daughter Milliscent must not over-hear. MILLISCENT. Aye, whispring; pray God it tend my good! Strange fear assails my heart, usurps my blood. CLARE. You know our meeting with the knight Mounchensey Is to assure our daughter to his heir. |
