tune has hours of loss, and hours of honour, And the most valiant feel them both: take comfort, The next is ours, I have a soul descries it: The angry bull never goes back for breath But when he means to arm his fury double. Let this day set, but not the memorie, And we shall find a time: How now Lieutenant? _Enter_ Lieutenant. _Lieu_. I know not: I am mall'd: we are bravely beaten, All our young gallants lost. _Leo_. Thou art hurt. _Lieu_. I am pepper'd, I was i'th' midst of all: and bang'd of all hands: They made an anvile of my head, it rings yet; Never so thresh'd: do you call this fame? I have fam'd it; I have got immortal fame, but I'le no more on't; I'le no such scratching Saint to serve hereafter; O' my conscience I was kill'd above twenty times, And yet I know not what a Devil's in't, I crawled away, and lived again still; I am hurt plaguily, But now I have nothing near so much pain Colonel, They have sliced me for that maladie. _Dem_. All the young men lost? _Lie_. I am glad you are here: but they are all i'th' pound sir, They'l never ride o're other mens corn again, I take it, Such frisking, and such flaunting with their feathers, And such careering with their Mistres favours; And here must he be pricking out for honour, And there got he a knock, and down goes pilgarlick, Commends his soul to his she-saint, and _Exit_. Another spurs in there, cryes make room villains, I am a Lord, scarce spoken, but with reverence A Rascal takes him o're the face, and fells him; There lyes the Lord, the Lord be with him. _Leo_. Now Sir, Do you find this truth? _Dem_. I would not. _Lieu_. Pox upon it, They have such tender bodies too; such Culisses, That one good handsom blow breaks 'em a pieces. _Leo_. How stands the Enemy? _Lieu_. Even cool enough too: For to say truth he has been shrewdly heated, The Gentleman no doubt will fall to his jewlips. _Leo_. He marches not i'th' tail on's. _Lieu_. No, plague take him, He'l kiss our tails as soon; he looks upon us, As if he would say, if ye will turn again, friends, We will belabor you a little better, And beat a little more care into your coxcombs. Now shall we have damnable Ballads out against us, Most wicked madrigals: and ten to one, Colonel, Sung to such lowsie, lamentable tunes. _Leo_. Thou art merry, How e're the game goes: good Sir be not troubled, A better day will draw this back again. Pray go, and cheer those left, and lead
