Enter
two Woodmen. [4.2]
1
Wood. What, have you lodged the Deer?
[end column one, page 32 (misnumbered 34)]
2
Wood. Yes, they are ready for the Bow.
1
Wood. Who shoots?
2
Wood. The Princess.
1
Wood. No she'l Hunt.
2
Wood. She'l take a Stand I say.
1
Wood. Who else?
2
Wood. Why the young stranger Prince.
1
Wood. He shall Shoot in a Stone-bow for me. I never
lov'd his beyond sea-ship, since
he forsook the Say, for pay
ing Ten shillings: he was there
at the fall of a Deer, and
would needs (out of his mightiness)
give Ten groats for the
Dowcers; marry the Steward would
have had the Velvet
head into the bargain, to Turf
his Hat withal: I think he
should love Venery, he is an
old Sir Tristram; for if you be
remembred, he forsook the Stagg
once, to strike a Rascal
Milking in a Medow, and her
he kill'd in the eye. Who
shoots else?
2 Wood. The Lady Galatea.
1
Wood. That's a good wench, and she would not chide
us for tumbling of her women
in the Brakes. She's liberal,
and by my Bow they say she's
honest, and whether that be
a fault, I have nothing to do.
There's all?
2
Wood. No, one more, Megra.
1
Wood. That's a firker I'faith boy; there's a wench will
Ride her Haunces as hard after
a Kennel of Hounds, as a
Hunting-faddle; and when she
comes home, get 'em clapt,
and all is well again. I have
known her lose her self three
times in one Afternoon (if the
Woods had been answerable)
and it has been work enough
for one man to find her, and
he has sweat for it. She Rides
well, and she payes well.
Hark, let's go.
[Exeunt. |
