Tediousnes, VVitte, VVill, Diligence.
Tediousnes.
What pryncox haue we heere, that dares me to assayle,
Alas poore boy, and winest thou, against me to preuaile.
Full smal was he thy frend, whoeuer sent the hyther,
For I must driue the backe with shame, or slay thee altogether.

VVitte.
Great bost small rost, I warrant thee do thy best,
Thy head must serue my tourne, this day to set my hart at rest.

VVill.
And I must haue a legge of the if I can catche it.
Tediousnes. Fight, strike at vvill.
First I must quise this brayne of thine, if I can reach it.

VVitte.
Well shifted VVill, now haue at thee sir knaue.

Tediousnes.
These friscoles shal not serue your tourne for al your vauntes so braue
Hoh hoh, did I not tell thee thou camst to thy payne.

Diligence.
Helpe, helpe, helpe, our maister is slaine.

VVill.
Helpe, helpe, helpe &c.

Tediousnes.
Where are these lustye blouds, that make their matche with mee?
Here lyes a pattorne for them all, to loke at and to see.


To teach them to conspire against my force and might,
To promise for their womans loue, to vanquishe me in fight:
Nowe let them goe and crake, howe wiselye they haue sped,
Such is the end of those, that seke this curious Dame to wed.
Hoh hoh hoh.
