English drama
_Pet._ No money, on my faith, but the gleek; I will[1370][1371]
give you the minstrel.[1370][1371][1372]
_First Mus._ Then will I give you the serving-creature.[1371]
_Pet._ Then will I lay the serving-creature's dagger on[1371][1373]
your pate. I will carry no crotchets: I'll re you, I'll
fa[1371][1374] 115
you; do you note me?[1374]
_First Mus._ An you re us and fa us, you note us.[1375]
_Sec. Mus._ Pray you, put up your dagger, and put out[1376]
your wit.[1376]
_Pet._ Then have at you with my wit! I will dry-beat[1377][1378] 120
you with an iron wit, and put up my iron dagger. Answer[1378][1379]
me like men:
'When griping grief the heart doth wound[1380][1381]
And doleful dumps the mind oppress,[1380][1382]
Then music with her silver sound'--[1380] 125
why 'silver sound'? why 'music with her silver sound'?--
What say you, Simon Catling?
_First Mus._ Marry, sir, because silver hath a sweet sound.[1383]
_Pet._ Pretty! What say you, Hugh Rebeck?[1384]
_Sec. Mus._ I say, 'silver sound,' because musicians 130
sound for silver.
_Pet._ Pretty too! What say you, James Soundpost?[1385]
_Third Mus._ Faith, I know not what to say.
_Pet._ O, I cry you mercy; you are the singer: I will[1386]
say for you. It is 'music with her silver sound,' because[1386] 135
musicians have no gold for sounding:[1386][1387]
'Then music with her silver sound[1388]
With speedy help doth lend redress.'[1388][1389] [_Exit._
_First Mus._ What a pestilent knave is this same![1390]
_Sec. Mus._ Hang him, Jack! Come, we'll in here; tarry[1391] 140
for the mourners, and stay dinner. [_Exeunt._[1392]
