I COME BUT LIKE A HARBENGER BEING SENT,
TO TELL YOU WHAT THESE PREPARATIONS MEANE:
LOOKE FOR NO GLORIOUS STATE,OUR MUSE IS BENT
VPON A BARREIN SUBIECT:A BARE SCEANE.
WE COULD AFFORD THIS TWIG A TIMBER TREE,
WHOSE STRENGTH MIGHT BOLDLY ON YOUR FAUOURS BUILD,
OUR RUSSET,TISSEW:DRONE,A HONEY-BEE,
OUR BARREIN PLOT,A LARGE AND SPACIOUS FIELDE.
OUR COURSE FARE, BANQUETS:OUR THIN WATER,WINE:
OUR BROOKE,A SEA:OUR BATS EYES,EAGLES SIGHT:
OUR POETS DULL AND EARTHY MUSE,DIUINE:
OUR RAUENS,DOUES:OUR CROWES BLACKE FETHERS, WHITE.
BUT GENTLE THOUGHTS WHEN THEY MAY GIUE THE FOYLE,
SAUE THEM THAT YEELD, AND SPARE WHERE THEY MAY SPOYLE.
<SSD ENTER MAISTER IOHN FRANKEFORD, SIR FRANCIS ACTON,
MISTRIS ACTON, SIR CHARLES MOUNTFARD, MAISTER MALBIE, MAISTER WENDOLL,
AND MAISTER CRANWELL.>
<Q FRANCIS.> SOME MUSICKE THERE, NONE LEAD THE BRIDE A DANCE?

BUT THATS THE DANCE HER HUSBAND MEANES . . .
