shuffling nag; Glend。 Come; you shall have Trent turn'd。 Hot。 I do not care。
I'll give thrice so much land To any well…deserving friend; But in the way
of bargain; mark ye me; I'll cavil on the ninth part of a hair Are the
indentures drawn? Shall we be gone? Glend。 The moon shines fair; you
may away by night。 I'll haste the writer; and withal Break with your wives
of your departure hence。 I am afraid my daughter will run mad; So much
she doteth on her Mortimer。 Exit。 Mort。 Fie; cousin Percy! how you cross
my father! Hot。 I cannot choose。 Sometimes he angers me With telling me
of the moldwarp and the ant; Of the dreamer Merlin and his prophecies;
And of a dragon and a finless fish; A clip…wing'd griffin and a moulten
raven; A couching lion and a ramping cat; And such a deal of skimble…
skamble stuff As puts me from my faith。 I tell you what… He held me last
night at least nine hours In reckoning up the several devils' names That
were his lackeys。 I cried 'hum;' and 'Well; go to!' But mark'd him not a
word。 O; he is as tedious As a tired horse; a railing wife; Worse than a
smoky house。 I had rather live With cheese and garlic in a windmill far
Than feed on cates and have him talk to me In any summer house in
Christendom)。 Mort。 In faith; he is a worthy gentleman; Exceedingly well
read; and profited In strange concealments; valiant as a lion; And
wondrous affable; and as bountiful As mines of India。 Shall I tell you;
cousin? He holds your temper in a high respect And curbs himself even of

his natural scope When you come 'cross his humour。 Faith; he does。 I
warrant you that man is not alive Might so have tempted him as you have
done Without the taste of danger and reproof。 But do not use it oft; let me
entreat you。 Wor。 In faith; my lord; you are too wilful…blame; And since
your coming hither have done enough To put him quite besides his
patience。 You must needs learn; lord; to amend this fault。 Though
sometimes it show greatness; courage; blood… And that's the dearest grace
it renders you… Yet oftentimes it doth present harsh rage; Defect of
manners; want of government; Pride; haughtiness; opinion; and disdain;
The least of which haunting a nobleman Loseth men's hearts; and leaves
behind a stain Upon the beauty of all parts besides; Beguiling them of
commendation。 Hot。 Well; I am school'd。 Good manners be your speed!
Here come our wives; and let us take our leave。
Enter Glendower with the Ladies。
Mort。 This is the deadly spite that angers me… My wife can speak no
English; I no Welsh。 Glend。 My daughter weeps; she will not part with you;
She'll be a soldier too; she'll to the wars。 Mort。 Good father; tell her that
she and my aunt Percy Shall follow in your conduct speedily。 Glendower
speaks to her in Welsh; and she answers him in the same。 Glend。 She is
desperate here。 A peevish self…will'd harlotry; One that no persuasion can
do good upon。 The Lady speaks in Welsh。 Mort。 I understand thy looks。
That pretty Welsh Which thou pourest down from these swelling heavens I
am too perfect in; and; but for shame; In such a Barley should I answer
thee。 The Lady again in Welsh。 I understand thy kisses; and thou mine;
And that's a feeling disputation。 But I will never be a truant; love; Till I
have learnt thy language: for thy tongue Makes Welsh as sweet as ditties
highly penn'd; Sung by a fair queen in a summer's bow'r; With ravishing
division; to her lute。 Glend。 Nay; if you melt; then will she run mad。 The
Lady speaks again in Welsh。 Mort。 O; I am ignorance itself in this! Glend。
She bids you on the wanton rushes lay you down And rest your gentle
head upon her lap; And she will sing the song that pleaseth you And on
your eyelids crown the god of sleep; Charming your blood with pleasing
heaviness; Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep As is the
difference betwixt day and night The hour before the heavenly…harness'd

team Begins his golden progress in the East。 Mort。 With all my heart I'll sit
and hear her sing。 By that time will our book; I think; be drawn。 Glend。 Do
so; And those musicians that shall play to you Hang in the air a thousand
leagues from hence; And straight they shall be here。 Sit; and attend。 Hot。
Come; Kate; thou art perfect in lying down。 Come; quick; quick; that I
may lay my head in thy lap。 Lady P。 Go; ye giddy goose。 The music plays。
Hot。 Now I perceive the devil understands Welsh; And 'tis no marvel; be is
so humorous。 By'r Lady; he is a good musician。 Lady P。 Then should you
be nothing but musical; for you are altogether govern'd by humours。 Lie
still; ye thief; and hear the lady sing in Welsh。 Hot。 I had rather hear Lady;
my brach; howl in Irish。 Lady P。 Wouldst thou have thy head broken? Hot。
No。 Lady P。 Then be still。 Hot。 Neither! 'Tis a woman's fault。 Lady P。 Now
God help thee! Hot。 To the Welsh lady's bed。 Lady P。 What's that? Hot。
Peace! she sings。 Here the Lady sings a Welsh song。 Come; Kate; I'll have
your song too。 Lady P。 Not mine; in good sooth。 Hot。 Not yours; in good
sooth? Heart! you swear like a comfit…maker's wife。 'Not you; in good
sooth!' and 'as true as I live!' and 'as God shall mend me!' and 'as sure as
day!' And givest such sarcenet surety for thy oaths As if thou ne'er walk'st
further than Finsbury。 Swear me; Kate; like a lady as thou art; A good
mouth…filling oath; and leave 'in sooth' And such protest of pepper
gingerbread To velvet guards and Sunday citizens。 Come; sing。 Lady P。 I
will not sing。 Hot。 'Tis the next way to turn tailor or be redbreast…teacher。
An the indentures be drawn; I'll away within these two hours; and so come
in when ye will。 Exit。 Glend。 Come; come; Lord Mortimer。 You are as
slow As hot Lord Percy is on fire to go。 By this our book is drawn; we'll
but seal; And then to horse immediately。 Mort。 With all my heart。 Exeunt。
