this and Streatham. Marry, methinks there is one of them danceth like
a clothier's horse, with a woolpack on his back. You, friend with the hobby-horse, go not too fast, for fear of wearing out my lord's tile-stones with your hobnails. VER. So, so, so; trot the ring twice over, and away. May it please my lord, this is the grand capital sum; but there are certain parcels behind, as you shall see. SUM. Nay, nay, no more; for this is all too much. VER. Content yourself; we'll have variety. _Here enter three_ CLOWNS _and three_ MAIDS, _singing this song, dancing:-- Trip and go, heave and hoe, Up and down, to and fro; From the town to the grove, Two and two let us rove. A maying, a playing: Love hath no gainsaying; So merrily trip and go_. WILL SUM. Beshrew my heart, of a number of ill legs I never saw worse dancers. How bless'd are you, that the wenches of the parish do not see you! SUM. Presumptuous Ver, uncivil-nurtur'd boy? Think'st I will be derided thus of thee? Is this th'account and reckoning that thou mak'st? |
