Have you the lions part written? Pray you, if it be, give it me, for I am slow of study.
Masters, the duke is coming from the temple, and there is two or three lords and ladies more married. If our sport had gone forth, we had all been made men.
(as Lion) You ladies, you whose hearts do fear the smallest monstrous mouse that creeps on floor, may now perchance both quake and tremble here, when lion rough in wildest rage doth roar. Then know that I, as Snug the joiner, am a lion fell, nor else no lions dam. For if I should as lion come in strife into this place, there pity on my life.
