Marry, sir, the pittie-ward, the park-ward, every

way.

SIMPLE

I will, sir.

To shallow rivers, to whose falls
Melodious birds sings madrigals;
There will we make our peds of roses,
And a thousand fragrant posies.
To shallow–

Melodious birds sing madrigals–
When as I sat in Pabylon–
And a thousand vagram posies.
To shallow &c.

SIR HUGH EVANS

He's welcome.

Sings

To shallow rivers, to whose falls-
Heaven prosper the right! What weapons is he?

Shallow, and another gentleman, from Frogmore, over
the stile, this way.
