The v. Sceane.

Diccon.
Diccon
Here will the sporte begin, if these two once may meete.
Their chere durst lay money will proue scarsly sweete
My gammer sure entends, to be vppon her bones,
With staues, or with clubs, or els with coble stones.
Dame Chat on the other syde, if she be far behynde
I am right far deceiued she is geuen to it of kynde,
He that may tarry by it a whyle, and that but shorte
I warrant hym trust to it, he shall see all the sporte
Into the towne will I, my frendes to vysit there
And hether straight againe to see thend of this gere
In the meane time felowes, pype vpp your fiddles, I saie take them
And let your freyndes here such mirth as ye can make them.
