Sil.

Indeed, I thinke he bee, but Goodman Puffe of

[3015]

Barson.

Pist.

Puffe? puffe in thy teeth, most recreant Coward

base. Sir Iohn, I am thy Pistoll, and thy Friend: helter

skelter haue I rode to thee, and tydings do I bring, and

luckie ioyes, and golden Times, and happie Newes of

O base Assyrian Knight, what is thy newes?

Let King Couitha know the truth thereof.

Sil.

And Robin‑hood, Scarlet, and Iohn.

Pist. Shall dunghill Curres confront the Hellicons? And shall good newes be baffel'd?
[3030]
Then Pistoll lay thy head in Furies lappe.
Shal. Honest Gentleman, I know not your breeding. Pist Why then Lament therefore. Shal. Giue me pardon, Sir.
[3035]

If sir, you come with news from the Court, I take it, there

is but two wayes, either to vtter them, or to conceale

them, I am Sir, vnder the King, in some Authority,

Pist. Vnder which King? Bezonian, speake, or dye. Shal.
[3040]
Vnder King Harry.
Pist. Harry the Fourth? or Fift? Shal. Harry the fourth. Pist. A footra for thine Office. Sir Iohn, thy tender Lamb‑kinne, now is King,

Harry the Fift's the man, I speake the truth. When Pistoll lyes, do this, and figge‑me, like The bragging Spaniard,
