Go, go, you are a counterfeit cowardly knave: will you mock at an ancient tradition, began upon an honourable refpect, and worn as a memorable trophy of predeceafed valour, and dare not avouch in your deeds any of your words? I have seen you gleeking and galling at this gentleman twice or thrice. You thought, because he could not fpeak English in the nauve garb, he could not therefore handle an English cudgel;.

Welsh correction teach you a good English condition:

[Exit
Pift. Doth fortune play the hufwife with me now?
News have I that my Dol is dead of malady of France,
And there my rendezvous is quite cut off:
Old I do wax, and from my weary limbs
Honour is cudgell'd. Well, bawd will I turn,
And fomething lean to cut-purfe of quick hand:
To England will I fteal, and there I'll steal;
And patches will I get unto these scars,
And swear I got them in the Gallia wars.
