BLVRT Master-Constable OR The Spaniards Night-walke As it hath bin sundry times priuately acted by the Children of Paules Patresque seueri Fronde comas vincti coenant et carmina dictant LONDON Printed for Henry Rockytt and are to be solde at the long shop vnder S. Mildreds Church in the Poultry 1602 Blurt Master Constable Enter Camillo with Violetta Hipolito Baptista Bentiuolio Virgilio as returning from warre euery one with a Gloue in his hat Ladies with them Doyt and Dandiprat Hipol I Mary Sir the onely rising vp in Armes is in the armes of a woman peace I say still is your onely Paradice when euerie Adam may haue his Christmas Eue and you take mee lying any more by the colde sides of a brazen-face field-peice vnlesse I haue such a Downe pillow vnder me I le giue you leaue to knocke vp both my golles in my Fathers hall and hang hats vpon these ten-penny nailes Viol. And yet brother when with the sharpest hookes of my wit I labour'd to pull you from the warres you broke loose like a horse that knew his owne strength and vow'd nothing but a man of warre should backe you Hip. I haue been backt since and almost vnbackt too Viol. And swore that honour was neuer dyed in graine till it was dipt in the cullors of the field Hip. I am a new man Sister and now cry a pox a that honor that must haue none but Barber-Surgions to waite vpon 't and a band of poore stragling rascals that euery twinckling of an eye forfeit their legs and armes into the Lords hands Wenches by Mars his sweatty Buffe Ierkin for now all my 〈◊〉 must smell a the Soldado I haue seene more mens head 〈◊〉 vp and downe like foote-balles at a breake-fast after the hungry Cannons had pickt them than are Maiden-heads in Venice and more legs of men seru'd in at a dinner then euer I shall see legs of Capons in one platter whilst I liue 1 Lady Perhaps all those were Capons legs you did see Virg. Nay mistris I le witnes against you for some of them Uiol. I doe not thinke for all this that my brother stood to it so lustilie as he makes his brags for 3 Lady No no these great talkers are neuer great doers Uiol. Faith brother how many did you kill for your share Hip. Not so many as thou hast done with that villanous eye by a thousand Viol. I thought so much that 's iust none Cam. T is not a Souldiers glory to tell howe many liues hee has ended but how many he has saued in both which honours the noble Hipolito had most excellent possession Belieue it my faire Mistris tho many men in a battle haue done more your brother in this equal'd him who did most he went from you a worthy Gentleman he brings with him that tytle that makes a Gentleman most worthy the name of a Souldier which how wel and how soone he hath earn'd would in me seeme glorious to rehearse in you to heare but because his owne eare dwels so neere my voice I will play the ill neighbour and cease to speake well of him Viol. An argument that eyther you dare not or loue not to flatter Cam. No more then I dare or loue to doe wrong yet to make a Cronicle of my friends nobly-acted deeds would stand as far from flattery in me as cowardize did from him Hip. S'foote if all the wit in this company haue nothing to set it selfe about but to run Deuision vpon me why then Eene burne off mine eares indeed but my little Mer-maides Signior Camillo does this that I now might describe the Niniuiticall motion of the whole battle and so tell what hee has done and come shall I begin 1 Lady O for beauties loue a good motion Hip. But I can tell you one thing I shall make your hayre stand vp an end at some things Uiol. Prethee good brother Soldier keepe the peace our haire stand an end pittie a my hart the next end would be of our wits we hang out a white flag most terrible Tamberlaine and begge mercy come come let vs neither haue your Niniuiticall motions nor your swaggering battailes why my Lord Camillo you inuited mee hether to a banquet not to the Ballad of a pitcht field Cam. And heere it stands bright Mistris sweetly attending what doome your lips willay vpon it Viol. I marie Sir let our teeth describe this Motion 2 Lady We shall neuer describe it well for fumbling i' th mouth Hip. Yes yes I haue a tricke to make vs vnderstand one another and we fumble neuer so Viol. Meddle not with his trickes sweet heart vnder pardon my Lord tho I am your guest I le bestow my selfe sit deere beauties for the men let them take vp places themselues I prethee brother fighter sit talke of any subiect but this langling law at Armes Hip. The law at logs then Vio. Wil you be so lustie no nor legs neither we 'll haue them tyed vp too since you are among Ladies gallants handle those things onlie that are fit for Ladies Hip. Agree'd so that we go not out of the compasse of those things that are fit for Lords Viol. Be 't so what 's the Theame then 1 Lady Beautie that fits vs best Cam. And of Beautie what tongue would not speake the best since it is the Iewell that hangs vpon the brow of heauen the best cullor that can be laide vpon the cheeke of earth beauty makes men Gods immortall by making mortall men to liue euer in loue for loue 2 Lady Euer not so I haue heard that some men haue dyed Viol. So haue I but I could neuer see 't I de ride forty miles to follow such a fellow to Church and would make more of a sprig of Rosemary at his buriall than of a gilded Bride-branch at mine owne wedding Camil. Take you such delight in men that dye for loue Uiol. Not in the men nor in the death but in the deed troth I thinke he is not a sound man that wil dye for a woman and yet I would neuer loue a man soundlie that would not knocke at deathes doore for my loue Hip. I de knocke as long as I thought good but haue my braines knockt out when I entred if I were he Cam. What Uenetian Gentleman was there that hauing this in his Burgonet did not to proue his head worthy of the honor doe more than defye death to the verie face trust vs Ladies our Signiory standes bound in greater summes of thankes to your beauties for victorie than to our vallour my deare Uioletta one kisse to this picture of your whitest hand when I was euen faint with giuing and receiuing the doale of warre Set a new edge on my sword in so much that I singled out a gallant Spirit of France And charg'd him with my Launce in full careere And after rich exchange of noble courage The space of a good houre on eyther side At last crying now
