I am sorry, your mastership offended I have: Shake hands, that between us agreement may be; I was over-shot with myself, I do see. Let me have your help, this furniture to provide; The king from this place will not long abide. AMBIDEXTER. [_Set the fruit on the board_. Content; it is the thing that I would wish: I myself will go fetch on dish. [_Let the_ VICE _set a dish of nuts, and let them fall in the bringing of them in_. PREPARATION. Cleanly! Master Ambidexter; for fair on the ground they lie. AMBIDEXTER. I will have them up again by and by. PREPARATION. To see all in readiness I will put you in trust: There is no nay, to the court needs I must. [_Exit_ PREPARATION. AMBIDEXTER. Have you no doubt, but all shall be well? Marry, sir, as you say, this gear doth excel: All things is in a readiness, when they come hither, The king’s grace and the queen both together. I beseech ye, my masters, tell me, is it not best That I be so bold as to bid a guest? He is as honest a man as ever spurr’d cow: My cousin Cutpurse, I mean, I beseech ye, judge you. Believe me, cousin, if to be the king’s guest ye could be taken, I trust that offer would not be forsaken. But, cousin, because to that office ye are not like to come, Frequent your exercises, a horn on your thumb, A quick eye, a sharp knife, at hand a receiver: But then take heed, cousin, ye be a cleanly conveyor; Content yourself, cousin, for this banquet you are unfit, When such as I at the same am not worthy to sit. _Enter_ KING, QUEEN, LORDS, _&c._ KING. My queen and lords, to take repast Let us attempt the same; Here is the place, delay no time, But to our purpose frame. QUEEN. With willing hearts your whole behest We mind for to obey. ALL. And we, the rest of prince’s train, Will do as you do say. [_Sit at the banquet._ KING. Methink, mine ears doth wish the sound Of music’s harmony; Here for to play before my grace, In place I would them spy. [_Play at the banquet._ AMBIDEXTER. They be at hand, sir, with stick and fiddle; They can play a new dance called _Hey-diddle-diddle_. KING.
