MACMORRIS
It is no time to discourse, so Chrish save me: [100] the day is hot, and the
weather, and the wars, and the King, and the Dukes: it is no time to
discourse. The town is beseeched, and the trumpet call us to the breach; and
we talk, and, be Chrish, do nothing: ’tis shame for us all; so God sa’ me, ’tis

shame to stand still [105]; it is shame, by my hand; and there is throats to be
cut, and works to be done; and there ish nothing done, so Chrish sa’ me, la!

JAMY
By the mess, ere theise eyes of mine take themselves to slomber ay’ll de gud
service, or I’ll lig i’ th’ grund for [110] it; ay, or go to death; and I’ll pay ’t as

valorously as I may, that sall I surely do, that is the breff and the long. Marry,
I wad full fain hear some question ’tween you tway.

MACMORRIS

Macmorris, peradventure I shall think you do not use me with that affability
as in discretion you ought to use me, look you; being as good a man as

yourself, both in the disciplines of war, and in the derivation of my birth, and
in other particularities. [125]

MACMORRIS
I do not know you so good a man as myself: so Chrish save me, I will cut off
your head.

GOWER
Gentlemen both, you will mistake each other.
