 fellow. I know, brother, you and your scholar will lie 

 together. But where shall we meet to-morrow night ? for 

 my friend Coridon and I will go up the water towards Ware. 



PiSC. And my scholar and I will go down towards 

 Waltham. 



COR. Then let 's meet here, for here are fresh sheets that 

 smell of lavender ; and I am sure we cannot expect better 

 meat or better usage in any place. 



PETER 'T is a match. Good night to everybody 1 



PlSC. And so say I. 



VEN. And so say I. 



PiSC. Good morrow, good hostess. I see my brother 

 Peter is still in bed : come, give my scholar and me a morn- 

 ing drink, and a bit of meat to breakfast ; and be sure to 

 get a good dish of meat or two against supper, for we shall 

 come home as hungry as hawks. Come, scholar, let's be 

 going. 



VEN. Well, now, good master, as we walk towards the 

 river, give me direction, according to your promise, how I 

 shall fish for a trout. 



PlSC. My honest scholar, 1 will take this very convenient 

 opportunity to do it.
