DICCON.

_Diccon._ Here will the sporte begin; if these two once may meete,

Their chere, durst lay money, will prove scarsly sweete.

My gammer, sure, entends to be uppon her bones

With staves, or with clubs, or els with coble stones.

Dame Chat, on the other syde, if she be far behynde 5

I am right far deceived; she is geven to it of kynde.[694]

He that may tarry by it awhyle, and that but shorte,

I warrant hym, trust to it, he shall see all the sporte.

Into the towne will I, my frendes to vysit there,

And hether straight againe to see thend of this gere. 10

In the meane time, felowes, pype upp; your fiddles, I saie, take

them,

And let your freyndes here such mirth as ye can make them.

The iii. Acte. The i Sceane.
