[ACT III., SCENE I.]
Enter John and the Maid.
John. But, sirrah, canst tell what my mistress means to do with her suitors?
Maid. Nay, nay, I know not; but there is one of them, I am sure, worth looking after.
John. Which is he, I prythee?
Maid. O John, Master Randall, John.
John. The Welshman?
Maid. The witty man, the pretty man, the singing-man. He has the daintiest ditty, so full of pith, so full of spirit, as they say.
John. Ditties! they are the old ends of ballads.[65]
