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
