Mi.
What art thou so neare Cacurgus I had thought thou hadst not harde
what newes canst thou tell me of now my old childe.

Ca.
Heavy newes for yow I can tell yow of a cowlinge carde
it will make yow plucke in your hornes an yow were near so wilde

Mi.
Plucke in my hornes sais thou he pluckes in my hornes has good lucke
I over came my father man here wt h all his fronte

Ca.
I faith I knowe a thinge will coule yow & ye weare near such a wild bucke
ites no matter for your father yow must bide yet a worse brunte

Mi.
Thers near a golia in this shire that shall scare me

Ca.
Ther will be in this shire shortly that will go near to mare yow
and yow take not hede I tell yow ile tourne yow out a dore

Mi.
He that can doe that Cacurgus is not in Italia
but tell me who thou meanest wt hout more a dow.

Ca.
He that will doe that Misogonus is in Apolonia
thers one I tell yow that will quickly yow cowe

[Mi.]
And if he were a giaunt coulde scarsly bringe me vnder
but name him that for him my selfe I may prepare

**

Mi.

Ca.
He that tolde him and it had pleased god I would he had layde oth beare
an old crabtre fast carle because a sowe he did misse

Mi.
I haue harde a whisperinge of such a thinge I must neds confesse
what thinkst thou I hope its but a tale of a tubb

Ca.
whether he be aliue or no I know not ye had one ites questionles
Yf he be Liturgus bringes him as sure as a clubb

Mi.
What is Liturgus gone for him, Soule what shall I then do
Ile colefeke him my selfe forte come onte what will

Ca.
Why knew yow not that; he went forward a fortnit a go
ites not best for yow to fight lest ye one another kill

Mi.
What shoulde I doe then Cacurgus what remedy is left
my hart woulde even burste for anger, if I should so be servid

Ca.
I woude worke some wilde if I caud cath the olde mithers eft
if I take him right heist ha that he hath deserved

Mi.
But what shall I be better canst thou him defeet
helpe me now Cacurgus & while thou livest thoust never lacke

Ca.
What if the deds of his landes I gett away wt h a fleete
yow nede not care a pinn if yow hate in white & blacke

Mi.
Fy their vnder a dosinn lockes thou canst never them gett
trye some other way rather if thou hast opportunitye

Ca.
Get yow hense & lett me alone I will play some fett
I will worke him some displeasure be boulde & that spedye

Mi.
I will repare to hir then a while from whence I came
and come see the againe wt hin lesse then an houre

Ca.
Yf that old neet should scape scotfree for this it were a shame
Ile dust him fort one day if ere it lye in my power.
