_Gan_. He was an arrant peevyshe curre, Nothynge but so; and I protest syncerlye I would have hangd that dogge (had he beene myne) Althoughe a lyonnesse had beene hys dame. _Orl_. Your dogs comparysons a saucye foole. _Gan_. Sir, I am just of your opynion I; For what extreame beast but a foolishe curre Would envye that which he hym selfe dispyses? Be not offended, Sir, thoughe symple I Can live in peace at home with hungrye leeks And never curse my planettes. I can leape With more actyvitie then yesterday.--_Capers_. Does thys offend you, Sir? _Orl_. Exceedinglye. _Rei_. Were you thus nymble ever from a boy? _Gan_. No, in good faythe it taks me of the sodayne. _Oli_. Your harte is lighter then it needs, I doute. _Gan_. Yes, and your heade is lighter then your heeles. _Bus_. It is the honor of hys gravitie Not to be shaken with rydiculous winds |
