angry women of Abington.
For a whore she was sure, if you had her here
So late, now you are sir Raphe Smith,
Well do ye counterfeit and change your voyce,
But yet I know ye, but what should be that Francis?
Belike that Francis cussend him of his wench,
And he conceals himselfe to finde her out,
Tis so vpon my life, well I will go
And helpe him ring his peale of so ho, soho,

Enter Franke.

Fra. A plague on Coomes, a plague vpon the boy,
A plague too, not on my mother for an hundreth bound,
Twas time to runne, and yet I had not thought
My mother could haue followed me so close,
Her legges with age I thought had foundered,
She made me quite runne through a quickset hedge,
Or she had taken me: well I may say,
I haue runne through the briers for a wenche,
And yet I haue her not, the woorse lucke mine,
Me thought I heard one hollow here about,
I iudge it Philip, O the slaue will laugh
When as he heares how that my mother scarde me,
Well, heere Ile stand vntill I heare him hollow,
And then Ile answere him, he is not farre.

Ra. my man is hollowing for me vp and downe,
And yet I cannot meet with him, so ho:

Franke. So ho.

Ra. Why what a poxe wert thou so neere me man,
And would not speake?

Fra. Sbloud ye are very hot.

Rap. No sir, I am colde enough with staying here
For such a knaue as you.

Fra. Knaue, how now Phillip, art mad, art mad?

Ra. Why art not thou my man.
That went to fetch my bowe,

Fra. Indeed a bowe,
Might shoote me ten bowes downe the weather so,
I your man.

Ra. What art thou then?

Hollow within Phillip and Will.

Fran. A man, but whats thy name?

Rap. Some call me Raph.

Franke.
