"A Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 4"

Will _Terentia_ follow?
_Teren_. If _Tully_ be her Leader.
_Host_. Good bloods, good spirits, let me answer for all, none speake
but mine Host; hee has his pols, and his aedypols, his times and his
tricks, his quirkes, and his quilits, and his demise and dementions. God
blesse thee, noble _Caesar_, and all these brave spirits! I am Host of
the Hobby, _Cornutus_ is my neighbour, _Graccus_, a mad spirit,
_Accutus_ is my friend, Sir _Scillicet_ is my guest; al mad comrades of
the true seede of _Troy_, that love juce of Grapes; we are all true
friends, merrie harts live long, let Pipers strike up, ile daunce my
cinquepace, cut aloft my brave capers, whirle about my toe, doe my
tricks above ground, ile kisse my sweet hostesse, make a curtesie to thy
grace; God blesse thy Maiestie and the Mouse shall be dun.
_Cor_. Come wife, will you dance?
_Wife_. Ile not daunce, I, must you come to Court to have hornes set on
your head? I could have done that at home.
_Host_. I, I, be rulde at this time; what? for one merrie day wele find
a whole moone at midsommer.
