To other en? ignes, and with labour make 180
A new bea? t of him, as hee ? hall de? erue,

This day hee is to goe to a new play, Sir.
From whence no feare, no, nor authority,
Scarcely the _Kings_ command, Sir, will re? traine him, 185
Now you haue fitted him with a _Stage_-garment,
For the meere names ? ake, were there nothing el? e:
And many more ? uch iourneyes, hee will make.

And doe those crowning court-? hips too, for which,

All that they wrought, their timber-worke, their trench, 55
Their bankes all borne away, or el? e fill'd vp

The way: I'll haue it all.
