mine own graffing, with a dish of caraways, and

so forth; come, cousin Silence; and then to bed.

Fal. 'Fore God, you have here a goodly

dwelling, and a rich.

Shal. Barren, barren, barren; beggars all,

beggars all, Sir John: marry, good air. Spread,

Davy; spread: well said, Davy.

Fal. This Davy serves you for good uses; he

is your serving-man and your husband.

Shal. A good varlet, a good varlet, a very

good varlet, Sir John: by the mass, I have

drunk too much sack at supper: a good varlet.

Now sit down, now sit down. Come, cousin.

Sil. Ah, sirrah! quoth a', we shall

'Do nothing but eat, and make good cheer, And praise God for the merry year; When flesh is cheap and females dear, And lusty lads roam here and there,

So merrily. And ever among so merrily.'

Fal. There's a merry heart! Good Master

Silence, I'll give you a health for that anon.

Shal. Give Master Bardolph some wine, Davy.

Davy. Sweet sir, sit; I'll be with you anon:

most sweet sir, sit. Master page, good master

page, sit. Proface! What you want in meat

we'll have in drink: but you must bear: the

heart's all.

Shal. Be merry, Master Bardolph; and my

little soldier there, be merry.
