And all's made up againe。



3。 COUNTREYMAN



I; doe but put a feskue in her fist; and you shall see her

Take a new lesson out; and be a good wench。

Doe we all hold against the Maying?



4。 COUNTREYMAN



Hold? what should aile us?



3。 COUNTREYMAN



Arcas will be there。



2。 COUNTREYMAN



And Sennois。

And Rycas; and 3。 better lads nev'r dancd

Under green Tree。  And yee know what wenches: ha?

But will the dainty Domine; the Schoolemaster;

Keep touch; doe you thinke? for he do's all; ye know。



3。 COUNTREYMAN



Hee'l eate a hornebooke ere he faile: goe too; the matter's too 

farre driven betweene him and the Tanners daughter; to let slip

now; and she must see the Duke; and she must daunce too。



4。 COUNTREYMAN



Shall we be lusty?



2。 COUNTREYMAN



All the Boyes in Athens blow wind i'th breech on's; and heere ile

be and there ile be; for our Towne; and here againe; and there

againe:

ha; Boyes; heigh for the weavers。



1。 COUNTREYMAN



This must be done i'th woods。



4。 COUNTREYMAN



O; pardon me。



2。 COUNTREYMAN



By any meanes; our thing of learning saies so:

Where he himselfe will edifie the Duke

Most parlously in our behalfes: hees excellent i'th woods;

Bring him to'th plaines; his learning makes no cry。



3。 COUNTREYMAN



Weele see the sports; then; every man to's Tackle:

And; Sweete Companions; lets rehearse by any meanes;

Before the Ladies see us; and doe sweetly;

And God knows what May come on't。



4。 COUNTREYMAN



Content; the sports once ended; wee'l performe。

Away; Boyes and hold。



ARCITE。



By your leaves; honest friends: pray you; whither goe you?



4。 COUNTREYMAN



Whither? why; what a question's that?



ARCITE。



Yes; tis a question; to me that know not。



3。 COUNTREYMAN



To the Games; my Friend。



2。 COUNTREYMAN



Where were you bred; you know it not?



ARCITE。



Not farre; Sir;

Are there such Games to day?



1。 COUNTREYMAN



Yes; marry; are there:

And such as you neuer saw; The Duke himselfe

Will be in person there。



ARCITE。



What pastimes are they?



2。 COUNTREYMAN



Wrastling; and Running。Tis a pretty Fellow。



3。 COUNTREYMAN



Thou wilt not goe along?



ARCITE。



Not yet; Sir。



4。 COUNTREYMAN



Well; Sir;

Take your owne time: come; Boyes。



1。 COUNTREYMAN



My minde misgives me;

This fellow has a veng'ance tricke o'th hip:

Marke how his Bodi's made for't



2。 COUNTREYMAN



Ile be hangd; though;

If he dare venture; hang him; plumb porredge;

He wrastle? he rost eggs! Come; lets be gon; Lads。  'Exeunt。'



ARCITE。



This is an offerd oportunity

I durst not wish for。  Well I could have wrestled;

The best men calld it excellent; and run

Swifter the winde upon a feild of Corne

(Curling the wealthy eares) never flew: Ile venture;

And in some poore disguize be there; who knowes

Whether my browes may not be girt with garlands?

And happines preferre me to a place;

Where I may ever dwell in sight of her。  'Exit Arcite。'









Scaena 4。  (Athens。  A room in the prison。)



'Enter Iailors Daughter alone。'



DAUGHTER。



Why should I love this Gentleman?  Tis odds

He never will affect me; I am base;

My Father the meane Keeper of his Prison;

And he a prince: To marry him is hopelesse;

To be his whore is witles。  Out upon't;

What pushes are we wenches driven to;

When fifteene once has found us!  First; I saw him;

I (seeing) thought he was a goodly man;

He has as much to please a woman in him;

(If he please to bestow it so) as ever

These eyes yet lookt on。  Next; I pittied him;

And so would any young wench; o' my Conscience;

That ever dream'd; or vow'd her Maydenhead

To a yong hansom Man; Then I lov'd him;

Extreamely lov'd him; infinitely lov'd him;

And yet he had a Cosen; faire as he too。

But in my heart was Palamon; and there;

Lord; what a coyle he keepes!  To heare him

Sing in an evening; what a heaven it is!

And yet his Songs are sad ones。  Fairer spoken

Was never Gentleman。  When I come in

To bring him water in a morning; first

He bowes his noble body; then salutes me; thus:

'Faire; gentle Mayde; good morrow; may thy goodnes

Get thee a happy husband。'  Once he kist me。

I lov'd my lips the better ten daies after。

Would he would doe so ev'ry day!  He greives much;

And me as much to see his misery。

What should I doe; to make him know I love him?

For I would faine enjoy him。  Say I ventur'd

To set him free? what saies the law then?  Thus much

For Law; or kindred!  I will doe it;

And this night; or to morrow; he shall love me。  'Exit。'









Scaena 5。  (An open place in Athens。)



'Enter Theseus; Hipolita; Pirithous; Emilia: Arcite with a

Garland; &c。'



'This short florish of Cornets and Showtes within。'



THESEUS。



You have done worthily; I have not seene;

Since Hercules; a man of tougher synewes;

What ere you are; you run the best; and wrastle;

That these times can allow。



ARCITE。



I am proud to please you。



THESEUS。



What Countrie bred you?



ARCITE。



This; but far off; Prince。



THESEUS。



Are you a Gentleman?



ARCITE。



My father said so;

And to those gentle uses gave me life。



THESEUS。



Are you his heire?



ARCITE。



His yongest; Sir。



THESEUS。



Your Father

Sure is a happy Sire then: what prooves you?



ARCITE。



A little of all noble Quallities:

I could have kept a Hawke; and well have holloa'd

To a deepe crie of Dogges; I dare not praise

My feat in horsemanship; yet they that knew me

Would say it was my best peece: last; and greatest;

I would be thought a Souldier。



THESEUS。



You are perfect。



PERITHOUS。



Vpon my soule; a proper man。



EMILIA。



He is so。



PERITHOUS。



How doe you like him; Ladie?



HIPPOLITA。



I admire him;

I have not seene so yong a man so noble

(If he say true;) of his sort。



EMILIA。



Beleeve;

His mother was a wondrous handsome woman;

His face; me thinkes; goes that way。



HIPPOLITA。



But his Body

And firie minde illustrate a brave Father。



PERITHOUS。



Marke how his vertue; like a hidden Sun;

Breakes through his baser garments。



HIPPOLITA。



Hee's well got; sure。



THESEUS。



What made you seeke this place; Sir?



ARCITE。



Noble Theseus;

To purchase name; and doe my ablest service

To such a well…found wonder as thy worth;

For onely in thy Court; of all the world;

Dwells faire…eyd honor。



PERITHOUS。



All his words are worthy。



THESEUS。



Sir; we are much endebted to your travell;

Nor shall you loose your wish: Perithous;

Dispose of this faire Gentleman。



PERITHOUS。



Thankes; Theseus。

What ere you are y'ar mine; and I shall give you

To a most noble service; to this Lady;

This bright yong Virgin; pray; observe her goodnesse;

You have honourd hir faire birth…day with your vertues;

And as your due y'ar hirs: kisse her faire hand; Sir。



ARCITE。



Sir; y'ar a noble Giver: dearest Bewtie;

Thus let me seale my vowd faith: when your Servant

(Your most unworthie Creature) but offends you;

Command him die; he shall。



EMILIA。



That were too cruell。

If you deserve well; Sir; I shall soone see't:

Y'ar mine; and somewhat better than your rancke

Ile use you。



PERITHOUS。



Ile see you furnish'd; and because you say

You are a horseman; I must needs intreat you

This after noone to ride; but tis a rough one。



ARCITE。



I like him better; Prince; I shall not then

Freeze in my Saddle。



THESEUS。



Sweet; you must be readie;

And you; Emilia; and you; Friend; and all;

To morrow by the Sun; to doe observance

To flowry May; in Dians wood: waite well; Sir;

Vpon your Mistris。  Emely; I hope

He shall not goe a foote。



EMILIA。



That were a shame; Sir;

While I have horses: take your choice; and what

You want at any time; let me but know it;

If you serve faithfully; I dare assure you

You'l finde a loving Mistris。



ARCITE。



If I doe not;

Let me finde that my Father ever hated;

Disgrace and blowes。



THESEUS。



Go; leade the way; you have won it:

It shall be so; you shall receave all dues

Fit for the honour you have won; Twer wrong else。

Sister; beshrew my heart; you have a Servant;

That; if I were a woman; would be Master;

But you are wise。  'Florish。'



EMILIA。



I hope too wise for that; Sir。  'Exeunt omnes。'









Scaena 6。  (Before the prison。)



'Enter Iaylors Daughter alone。'



DAUGHTER。



Let all the Dukes; and all the divells rore;

He is at liberty: I have venturd for him;

And out I have brought him to a little wood

A mile hence。  I have sent him; where a Cedar;

Higher than all the rest; spreads like a plane

Fast by a Brooke; and there he shall keepe close;

Till I provide him Fyles and foode; for yet

His yron bracelets are not off。  O Love;

What a stout hearted child thou art!  My Father

Durst better have indur'd cold yron; than done it:

I love him beyond love and beyond reason;

Or wit; or safetie: I have made him know it。

I care not; I am desperate; If the law

Finde me; and then condemne me for't; some wenches;

Some honest harted Maides; will sing my Dirge;

And tell to memory my death was noble;

Dying almost a Martyr: That way he takes;

I purpose is my way too: Sure he cannot

Be so unmanly; as to leave me here;

If he doe; Maides will not so easily

Trust men againe: And yet he has not thank'd me

For what I have done: no not so much as kist me;

And that (me thinkes) is not so well; nor scarcely

Could I perswade him to become a Freeman;

He made such scruples of the wrong he did

To me; and to my Father。  Yet I
