L. 285.

_Clo._ Lay it by too: another.

_Aut._ This is a _merry ballad_, but a _very pretty_ one.

_Mop._ Let's have some merry ones.

_Aut._ Why, this is a passing merry one, and _goes to the

tune of_ "Two maids wooing a man," there's scarce a maid

westward but she sings it: _'tis in request_, I can tell

you.

_Mop._ We can _both_ sing it: if _thou'lt bear a part_

[_i.e._, Autolycus], thou shalt hear; 'tis in _three parts_.

_Dorcas._ We had the _tune_ on't a month ago.

_Aut._ _I can bear my part_; you must know, _'tis my

occupation_: have at it with you.

[They sing 'Get you hence,' in three parts.]

_Clo._ We'll have the song out anon _by ourselves_.
