THE FIRST ACT.
THE FIRST SCENE.
Diccon. Many a mile have I walked divers and sundry ways,
And many a good man's house have I been at in my days,
Many a gossip's cup in my time have I tasted,
And many a broach and spit have I both turned and basted,
Many a piece of bacon have I had out of their balks,[186]
In running over the country with long and weary walks.
Yet came my foot never within those door cheeks,
To seek flesh or fish, garlick, onions, or leeks,
