s brave can be; 15
He surely would do desperate things to show his love of me!
King, ladies, lovers, all look on; the chance is wond'rous fine;
I'll drop my glove to prove his love; great glory will be mine!"

She dropp'd her glove to prove his love: then looked on him
and smiled;
He bow'd, and in a moment leap'd among the lions wild: 20
The leap was quick; return was quick; he soon regain'd his place;
Then threw the glove, but not with love, right in the lady's face!
"In truth!" cried Francis, "rightly done!" and he rose from where
he sat:
"No love," quoth he, "but vanity, sets love a task like that!"

--_Leigh Hunt_

_Flav._ Hence! home, you idle creatures, get you home.
Is this a holiday? What! know you not,
Being mechanical, you ought not walk
Upon a labouring day without the sign
Of your profession?--Speak, what trade art thou? 5

_1 Cit._ Why, sir, a carpenter.

_Mar._ Where is thy leather apron, and thy rule?
What dost thou with thy best apparel on?--
You, sir, what trade are you?

_2 Cit._ Truly, sir, in respect of a fine workman, I am 10
but, as you would say, a cobbler.

_Mar._ But what trade are thou? Answer me directly.

_2 Cit._ A trade, sir, that I hope I may use with a safe
conscience; which is, indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles.

_Mar._ What trade, thou knave? thou naughty knave, 15

_2 Cit._ Nay, I beseech you, sir, be not out with me;
