KING HENRY THE EIGHTH
that rail'd upon me till her pink'd porringer fell off her head�察�for kindling
such a combustion in the state。 I miss'd the meteor once�察 �and hit that
woman�察 �who cried out 'Clubs��' when I might see from far some forty
truncheoners draw to her succour�察 �which were the hope o' th' Strand�察�
where she was quartered。 They fell on�察�I made good my place。 At length
they came to th' broomstaff to me�察�I defied 'em still�察�when suddenly a file
of boys behind 'em�察�loose shot�察�deliver'd such a show'r of pebbles that I
was fain to draw mine honour in and let 'em win the work�此�the devil was
amongst 'em�察�I think surely。 PORTER。 These are the youths that thunder at
a playhouse and fight for bitten apples�察�that no audience but the tribulation
of Tower´hill or the limbs of Limehouse�察�their dear brothers�察�are able to
endure。 I have some of 'em in Limbo Patrum�察�and there they are like to
dance these three days�察�besides the running banquet of two beadles that is
to come。
Enter the LORD CHAMBERLAIN
CHAMBERLAIN。 Mercy o' me�察 �what a multitude are here� �They
grow still too�察�from all parts they are coming�察�As if we kept a fair here� �
Where are these porters�察 �These lazy knaves�拭 �Y'have made a fine hand�察�
fellows。 There's a trim rabble let in�此�are all these Your faithful friends o' th'
suburbs�拭�We shall have Great store of room�察�no doubt�察�left for the ladies�察�
When they pass back from the christening。 PORTER。 An't please your
honour�察 �We are but men�察 �and what so many may do�察 �Not being torn a
pieces�察�we have done。 An army cannot rule 'em。 CHAMBERLAIN。 As I
live�察�If the King blame me for't�察�I'll lay ye all By th' heels�察�and suddenly�察�
and on your heads Clap round fines for neglect。 Y'are lazy knaves�察�And
here ye lie baiting of bombards�察 �when Ye should do service。 Hark� �the
trumpets sound�察 �Th' are come already from the christening。 Go break
among the press and find a way out To let the troops pass fairly�察�or I'll find
A Marshalsea shall hold ye play these two months。 PORTER。 Make way
there for the Princess。 MAN。 You great fellow�察�Stand close up�察�or I'll make
your head ache。 PORTER。 You i' th' camlet�察�get up o' th' rail�察�I'll peck you
o'er the pales else。 Exeunt

peace to all his neighbours。 God shall be truly known�察�and those about her
