Fay_. You shall haue most daintie Instruments, Sir.
_Mop_. I pray you, what might I call you?
1 _Fay_. My name is _Penny_.
_Mop_. I am sorry I cannot purse you.
_Fris_. I pray you sir what might I call you?
2 _Fay_. My name is _Cricket_.[117]
_Fris_. I would I were a chimney for your sake.
_Io_. I pray you, you prettie little fellow, whats your name?
3 _Fay_. My name is little, little _Pricke_.
_Io_. Little, little _Pricke?_ o you are a daungerous Fayrie, and
fright all little wenches in the country out of their beds. I care not
whose hand I were in, so I were out of yours.
1 _Fay_. I do come about the coppes
Leaping vpon flowers toppes;
Then I get vpon a Flie,
Shee carries me aboue the skie,
And trip and goe.
2 _Fay_. When a deaw drop falleth downe
And doth light vpon my crowne,
Then I shake my head and skip
And about I trip.
3 _Fay_. When I feele a girle a sleepe
Vnderneath her frock I peepe.
There to sport, and there I play,
Then I byte her like a flea;
And about I skip.
_Io_. I, I thought where I should haue you.
_1 Fay_. Wilt please you daunce, sir.
_Io_. Indeed, sir, I cannot handle my legges.
2 _Fay_. O you must needs daunce and sing,
Which if you refuse to doe
We will pinch you blacke and blew;
And about we goe.
_They all daunce in a ring and sing, as followeth_.
Round about, round about, in a fine ring a,
Thus we daunce, thus we daunce, and thus we sing a:
Trip and go, too and fro, ouer this Greene a,
All about, in and out, for our braue Queene a.
Round about, round about, in a fine Ring a,
Thus we daunce, thus we daunce, and thus we sing a:
Trip and go, too and fro, ouer this Greene a,
All about, in and out, for our braue Queene a.
We haue daunc't round about in a fine Ring a,
We haue daunc't lustily and thus we sing a;
All about, in and out, ouer this Greene a,
Too and fro, trip and go, to our braue Queene a.
_Actus Tertius_.
(SCENE I.)
_Enter Appollo and three Charites_.
1 _Cha_. No, No, great _Phoebus_; this your silence tends
To hide your griefe from knowledge of your friends,
Who, if they knew the cause in each respect,
Would shewe their utmost skill to cure th'effect:
_Ap_. Good Ladyes, your conceites in iudgement erre:
Because you see me dumpish, you referre
The reason to some secret griefe of mine:
