scæna secunda.
Mido.Are ye here maister Iacob? I came you to looke:
And here dame Rebecca hath sent you your shepecroke
And hath commaunded me to wayte on you this day,
But wherfore or why, she woulde nothing to me say.
Iacob.
Come on then, folow me Mido a litle wayes.
Mido.
Whether ye shall leade me, I am at all assayes.
Iacob.
And art thou able to beare a kidde on thy backe?
Mido,
I am able (I trowe) to beare a quarter sacke.
How say you to this corps? is it not fat and round?
How say ye to these legges? come they not to the ground?
And be not here armes able your matter to spede?
Be not here likely shoulders to do such a deede?
Therfore come maister Iacob, if this your dout be,
For bringing home of kiddes, lay the biggest on me,
So that if we make a feast, I may haue some parte.
Iacob.
Yes that shalt thou Mido, right worthy thou art.
