Clown. If ever I knew what belongs to these cases, or yet know what they mean; if ever I used any plain dealing, or were ever worth such a jewel, would I might die like a beggar! If ever I were so far read in my grammar as to know what an interjection is, or a conjunction copulative, would I might never have good of my _qui quæ quod_! Why, do you think, madam, I have no more care of myself, being but a stripling, than to go to it at these years? Flesh and blood cannot endure it; I shall even spoil one of the best faces in Rome with crying at your unkindness. Lucrece. I ha’ done. See if you can spy your lord returning from the court, and give me notice what strangers he brings home with him. Clown. Yes, I’ll go: but see, kind man, he saves me a labour. [_Exeunt_. SCENE V.--_Outside the House of_ Collatine. _Enter_ Collatine, Valerius, Horatius, _and_ Scevola. Horatius. Come, Valerius, let’s hear, in our way to the house of Collatine, that you went late hammering of concerning the taverns in Rome. Valerius. Only this, Horatius. [_Sings_.] The gentry to the King’s Head, The nobles to the Crown, The knights unto the Golden Fleece, And to the Plough the clown; The churchman to the Mitre, The shepherd to the Star, The gardener hies him to the Rose, To the Drum the man of war; To the Feathers ladies you; the Globe The sea-man doth not scorn; The usurer to the Devil, and The townsman to the Horn; The huntsman to the White Hart, To the Ship the merchants go; But you that do the Muses love The sign called River Po. The banquerout to the World’s End, The fool to the Fortune hie; Unto the Mouth the oyster-wife, The fiddler to the Pie, The punk unto the Cockatrice, The drunkard to the Vine, The beggar to the Bush, then meet And with Duke Humphrey dine.[5.33] _Enter_ Lucrece _and_ Clown. Collatine. Fair Lucrece, I ha’ brought these lords from court To feast with thee. [_To_ Clown] Sirrah, prepare us dinner. [_Exit_ Clown. Lucrece. My lord is welcome, so are all his friends. The news at court, lords?
