yet to make; Be not too hasty, when ye face the Enemie, Nor too ambitious to get honour instantly, But charge within your bounds, and keep close bodies, And you shall see what sport we'l make these mad-caps; You shall have game enough, I warrant ye, Every mans Cock shall fight. _Dem._ I must go see Sir: Brave Sir, as soon as I have taken leave, I'le meet you in the park; Draw the men thither, Wait you upon _Leontius_. _Gen._ We'l attend Sir. _Leo._ But I beseech your Grace, with speed; the sooner We are i'th' field.-- _Dem._ You could not please me better. [_Exit_. _Leo._ You never saw the wars yet? _Gent._ Not yet Colonel. _Leo._ These foolish Mistresses do so hang about ye, So whimper, and so hug, I know it Gentlemen, And so intice ye, now ye are i'th' bud; And that sweet tilting war, with eyes and kisses, Th' alarms of soft vows, and sighs, and fiddle faddles, Spoils all our trade: you must forget these knick knacks, A woman at some time of year, I grant ye She is necessarie; but make no business of her.
