Enter five Countrywomen.
FOURTH COUNTRYMAN.
Here’s Friz and Maudlin.
SECOND COUNTRYMAN.
And little Luce with the white legs, and bouncing Barbary.
FIRST COUNTRYMAN.
And freckled Nel, that never failed her master.
SCHOOLMASTER.
Where be your ribbons, maids? Swim with your bodies,
And carry it sweetly and deliverly,
And now and then a favour and a frisk.
NEL.
Let us alone, sir.
SCHOOLMASTER.
Where’s the rest o’ th’ music?
THIRD COUNTRYMAN.
Dispersed, as you commanded.
SCHOOLMASTER.
Couple, then,
And see what’s wanting. Where’s the Bavian?
My friend, carry your tail without offence
Or scandal to the ladies; and be sure
You tumble with audacity and manhood;
And when you bark, do it with judgement.
BAVIAN.
Yes, sir.
