EPIG. 25.

[Bid me go sleepe? I scorne it with my heeles]

Bid me go sleepe? I scorne it with my heeles,
I know my selfe as good a man as thee.
Let go mine Arme I say, lead him that reeles.
I am a right good fellow; dost thou see?
I know what longes to drinking, and I can
Abuse my selfe as well as any man.
I care no more for twentie hundred pound,
(Before the Lord) then for a very straw.
Ile fight with any be aboue the ground.
Tut, tell not me whats what; I know the law.
Rapier and Dagger: hey, a kingly fight.
Ile now try falls with any, by this light.
