Speeches (Lines) for THIRD COUNTRYMAN in "The Two Noble Kinsmen"

SECOND COUNTRYMAN. And I'll be there.

THIRD COUNTRYMAN. And I.

SECOND COUNTRYMAN. Clap her aboard tomorrow night
and stow her, and all's made up again.

THIRD COUNTRYMAN. Ay, do but put a fescue in her fist
and you shall see her take a new lesson out and be
a good wench. Do we all hold against the Maying?

FOURTH COUNTRYMAN. Hold? What should ail us?

THIRD COUNTRYMAN. Arcas will be there.

SECOND COUNTRYMAN. And Sennois and Rycas; and
three better lads ne'er danced under green tree.
And you know what wenches, ha! But will the
dainty domine, the Schoolmaster, keep touch, do
you think? For he does all, you know.

THIRD COUNTRYMAN. He'll eat a hornbook ere he fail.
Go to, the matter's too far driven between him and
the tanner's daughter to let slip now; and she must
see the Duke, and she must dance too.

SECOND COUNTRYMAN. By any means; our thing of learning
says so--where he himself will edify the Duke
most parlously in our behalfs. He's excellent i' th'
woods; bring him to th' plains, his learning makes no cry.

THIRD COUNTRYMAN. We'll see the sports, then every
man to 's tackle. And, sweet companions, let's rehearse,
by any means, before the ladies see us, and
do sweetly, and God knows what may come on 't.

ARCITE. Yes, 'tis a question
To me that know not.

THIRD COUNTRYMAN. To the games, my friend.

SECOND COUNTRYMAN. Wrestling and running.--'Tis a pretty fellow.

THIRD COUNTRYMAN. Thou wilt not go along?

SECOND COUNTRYMAN. Draw up the company. Where's the taborer?

THIRD COUNTRYMAN. Why, Timothy!

[Enter the Taborer.]

SCHOOLMASTER. Where's the rest o' th' music?

THIRD COUNTRYMAN. Dispersed, as you commanded.

FIRST COUNTRYMAN. A fire ill take her! Does she flinch now?

THIRD COUNTRYMAN. What shall we determine, sir?

DAUGHTER. [sings]
The George Alow came from the south,
From the coast of Barbary-a,
And there he met with brave gallants of war,
By one, by two, by three-a.
"Well hailed, well hailed, you jolly gallants,
And whither now are you bound-a?
O, let me have your company
Till I come to the sound-a."
There was three fools, fell out about an owlet--
[Sings]
The one he said it was an owl,
The other he said nay,
The third he said it was a hawk,
And her bells were cut away.

THIRD COUNTRYMAN. There's a dainty madwoman, master,
comes i' th' nick, as mad as a March hare. If we
can get her dance, we are made again. I warrant
her, she'll do the rarest gambols.

DAUGHTER. I'll lead.

THIRD COUNTRYMAN. Do, do!
