MANSIPULUS. Nay, hearken, Subservus, stay, I pray thee: Let us have a song, and then have with thee. SUBSERVUS. Content, if thou hie thee. _Sing here all._ _Hope so, and hap so, in hazard of threat’ning, The worst that can hap, lo, in end is but beating._ MANSIPULUS [_sings_]. _What, if my lording do chance for to miss me, The worst that can happen is, cudgel will kiss me: In such kind of sweetness, I swear by God’s mother, It will please me better, it were on some other._ [ALL.] _With thwick thwack, with thump thump, With bobbing and bum, Our side-saddle shoulders shall shield that doth come. Hope so, and hap so, in hazard, &c._ MANSIPULA [_sings_]. _If[174] case that my lady do threaten my case, No cause to contrary, but bear her a space, Until she draw home, lo, where so she will use me, As Doctors doth doubt it, how I should excuse me._ [ALL.] _With thwick thwack, with thump thump, With bobbing and bum, Our side-saddle shoulders shall shield that doth come. Hope so, and hap so, in hazard, &c._ SUBSERVUS [_sings_]. _What, if your company cause me have woe, I mind not companions so soon to forego. Let hope hold the helmet, till brunt it be past, For blows are but buffets and words but a blast._ [ALL.] _With thwick thwack, with thump thump, With bobbing and bum, Our side-saddle shoulders shall shield that doth come. Hope so, and hap so, in hazard, &c._ HAPHAZARD [_sings_]. _Then let us be merry, it is but by hap, A hazardly chance may harbour a clap: Bestir ye, be merry, be glad and be joying, For blows are but buffets and small time annoying._ [ALL.] _With thwick thwack, with thump thump, With bobbing and bum, Our side-saddle shoulders shall shield that doth come. Hope so, and hap so, in hazard, &c._ [_The end of the song._ _All speaketh this._ Haphazard, farewell: the gods do thank thee. [_Exeunt._
