For in this room we have a mind to resort—

Resort, and to repeat to you our merry rhyme,

For remember, good sirs, this is Christmas time;

The time to cut up goose pies now doth appear,

So we are come to act our merry mirth here:

At the sounding of the trumpet, and beating of the drum,

Make room, brave gentlemen, and let our actors come.

We are the merry actors that traverses the street;

We are the merry actors that fight for our meat;

We are the merry actors that show the pleasant play:
