And carry messages to Madam Cresside;

Instead of backing the brave steed o' mornings,

To mount the chamber-maid, and, for a leap

O' the vaulting horse, to ply the vaulting house;

For exercise of arms, a bale of dice,

Or two or three packs of cards, to shew the cheat,

And nimbleness of hand; mistake a cloak

From my lord's back, and pawn it; ease his pockets

Of a superfluous watch; or geld a jewel

Of an odd stone or so; twinge two or three buttons
