LORD.
Take him up gently, and to bed with him,
And each one to his office when he wakes.
[SLY is bourne out. A trumpet sounds.]
Sirrah, go see what trumpet 'tis that sounds:
[Exit SERVANT.]
Belike some noble gentleman that means,
Travelling some journey, to repose him here.
[Re-enter SERVANT.]
How now! who is it?
SERVANT.
An it please your honour, players
That offer service to your lordship.
LORD.
Bid them come near.
[Enter PLAYERS.]
Now, fellows, you are welcome.
PLAYERS.
We thank your honour.
LORD.
Do you intend to stay with me to-night?
PLAYER.
So please your lordship to accept our duty.
LORD.
With all my heart. This fellow I remember
Since once he play'd a farmer's eldest son;
'Twas where you woo'd the gentlewoman so well.
I have forgot your name; but, sure, that part
Was aptly fitted and naturally perform'd.
