FOURTH COUNTRYMAN.
Shall we be lusty?
SECOND COUNTRYMAN.
All the boys in Athens
Blow wind i’ th’ breech on ’s. And here I’ll be,
And there I’ll be, for our town, and here again,
And there again. Ha, boys, hey for the weavers!
FIRST COUNTRYMAN.
This must be done i’ th’ woods.
FOURTH COUNTRYMAN.
O, pardon me.
SECOND COUNTRYMAN.
By any means; our thing of learning says so—
Where he himself will edify the Duke
Most parlously in our behalfs. He’s excellent i’ th’ woods;
Bring him to th’ plains, his learning makes no cry.
THIRD COUNTRYMAN.
We’ll see the sports, then every man to ’s tackle;
And, sweet companions, let’s rehearse, by any means,
Before the ladies see us, and do sweetly,
And God knows what may come on ’t.
FOURTH COUNTRYMAN.
Content; the sports once ended, we’ll perform.
Away, boys, and hold.
ARCITE.
By your leaves, honest friends: pray you, whither go you?
FOURTH COUNTRYMAN.
Whither? Why, what a question’s that?
ARCITE.
Yes, ’tis a question
To me that know not.
