Social Commentaries
Exped. Why-ho, Endimion; how th'Dormouse sleeps,
Awake for shame, open thy wink-a-peeps!
Endim. What stur you make, I come with speed I can
(and too much speed) for I haue tyr'd my man;
Exped. Who, Dulman?
Endim. Yes.
Exped. I thought the Iade would shame vs.
And play vs one horse-tricke for Ignoramus.
