Moth. By my penny of observation.
Arm. But 0,--but 0,-
Moth. -the hobby.horse is forgot.
Arm. Callest thou my love, hobby-horse?

Moth. No, master; the hobby-horse is but a colt, and your love, perhaps, a hackney. But have you forgot your love?

Arm. Almost I had.
Moth Negligent student ! learn her by heart.
Arm. By heart, and in heart, boy.
Moth. And out of heart, master : all those three

I will prove.

Arm. What wilt thou prove ?

Moth. A man, if I live: and this, by, in, and without, upon the instant: By heart you love her, because your heart cannot come by her: in heart you love her, because your heart is in love with her; and out of heart you love her, being out of heart that you cannot enjoy her. Arm. I am all these three.

Moth. And three times as much more, and yet nothing at all!

Arm. Fetch hither the swain; he must carry me a letter.

Moth. A message well sympathised; a horse te be embassador for an ass!

Arm. Ha, ba! what sayest thou?

Moth. Marry, sir, you must send the ass upon the horse, for he is very slow-gaited: But I go. Arm. The way is but short; away, Moth. As swift as lead, sir.

Arm. T'hy meaning, pretty ingenious? Is not lead a metal heavy, dull, and slow? Moth. Minimé, honest master; or rather, master,

no. Arm. I say, lead it slow. Bloth.

You are too swift", sir, to say so;

• Quick, ready.

Moth. I will add the envoy

again.

Is that lead slow which is fir'd from a gun?

Arm. Sweet smoke of rhetorick!
He reputes me a cannon; and the bullet, that's he:-
I shoot thee at the swain.
Moth.

Thump then, and I fee.

[Erit. Arm. A most acute juvenal; voluble and free of

grace!
By thy favour, sweet welkin, I must sigh in thy face;
Most rude melancholy, valour give thee place.
My herald is return'd.

Re-enter Moth and Costard.
Moth. A wonder, master; here's a Costard* broken

in a shin.
Arm. Some enigma, some riddle: come,—thy

l'envoyt;--begin. Cost. No egma, no riddle, no l'envoy; no salve in the mail, sir: 0, sir, plaintain, a plain plaintaia; no l'envoy, no l'envoy, no salve, sir, but a plantain !

Arm. By virtue, thou enforcest laughter; thy silly thought, my spleen; the heaving of my lungs provokes me to ridiculous smiling : 0, pardon me, my stars!

Doth the inconsiderate take salve for l'envoy, and the word, l'endoy, for a salve?

Moth. Do the wise think them other? is not l'envoy a salve? Arm. No, page: it is an epilogue or discourse

to make plain Some obscure precedence that hath tofore been said. I will example it:
