_Shep._ I would there were no age between ten and three-and-twenty, or that youth would sleep out the rest; for there 60 is nothing in the between but getting wenches with child, wronging the ancientry, stealing, fighting--Hark you now! Would any but these boiled brains of nineteen and two-and-twenty hunt this weather? They have scared away two of my best sheep, which I fear the wolf will sooner find 65 than the master: if any where I have them, 'tis by the sea-side, browzing of ivy. Good luck, an't be thy will! what have we here? Mercy on's, a barne; a very pretty barne! A boy or a child, I wonder? A pretty one; a very pretty one: sure, some scape: though I am not bookish, yet I 70 can read waiting-gentlewoman in the scape. This has been some stair-work, some trunk-work, some behind-door-work: they were warmer that got this than the poor thing is here. I'll take it up for pity: yet I'll tarry till my son come; he hallooed but even now. Whoa, ho, hoa! 75 _Enter_ Clown. _Clo._ Hilloa, loa! _Shep._ What, art so near? If thou'lt see a thing to talk on when thou art dead and rotten, come hither. What ailest thou, man? _Clo._ I have seen two such sights, by sea and by land! 80 but I am not to say it is a sea, for it is now the sky: betwixt the firmament and it you cannot thrust a bodkin's point. _Shep._ Why, boy, how is it? _Clo._ I would you did but see how it chafes, how it rages, how it takes up the shore! but that's not to the point. O, 85 the most piteous cry of the poor souls! sometimes to see 'em, and not to see 'em; now the ship boring the moon with her main-mast, and anon swallowed with yest and froth, as you'ld thrust a cork into a hogshead. And then for the land-service, to see how the bear tore out his shoulder-bone; 90 how he cried to me for help and said his name was Antigonus, a nobleman. But to make an end of the ship, to see how the sea flap-dragoned it: but, first, how the poor souls roared, and the sea mocked them; and how the poor gentleman roared and the bear mocked him, both roaring louder 95 than the sea or weather. _Shep._ Name of mercy, when was this, boy? _Clo._ Now, now: I have not winked since I saw these sights: the men are not yet cold under water, nor the bear half dined on the gentleman: he's at it now. 100 _Shep._ Would I had been by, to have helped the old man! _Clo._ I would you had been by the ship side, to have helped her: there your charity would have lacked footing.
