I woulde have my sworde and harnesse to shine so bright,[541] F iii b 20
That I might therwith dimme mine enimies sight,
I would have it cast beames as fast I tell you playne,
As doth the glittryng grasse after a showre of raine.
And see that in case I shoulde neede to come to arming,
All things may be ready at a minutes warning, 25
For such chaunce may chaunce in an houre, do ye heare?
M. Mery. As perchance shall not chaunce againe in seven yeare.
R. Royster. Now draw we neare to hir, and here what shall be sayde. [Advances towards Cust.]
M. Mery. But I woulde not have you make hir too muche afrayde.
