NURSE
Honest good fellows, ah put up, put up,
For well you know this is a pitiful case.
I MUSICIAN Exit Nurse.
Ay, by my troth, the case may be amended.
Enter Peter.
PET ER
Musicians, O musicians, ‘Heart’s ease’, ‘Heart’s [100] ease’! O, and you will
have me live, play ‘Heart’s ease’.
1 MUSICIAN
Why ‘Heart’s ease’?
PET ER
O musicians, because my heart itself plays ‘my heart is full’. O play me
some merry dump to comfort me. [105]
1 MUSICIAN
Not a dump we! ’Tis no time to play now.
PET ER
You will not then?
1 MUSICIAN
No.
PET ER
I will then give it you soundly.
1 MUSICIAN
What will you give us? [110]
PET ER
No money, on my faith, but the gleek! I will give you the minstrel.
1 MUSICIAN
