Nay, like a prince that seeks his father’s joy. Therefore, tomorrow, ere fair Titan shine, And bashful Eos, messenger of light, Expels the liquid sleep from out men’s eyes, Thou shalt conduct the right wing of the host; The left wing shall be under Segar’s charge, The rearward shall be under me myself. And lovely Estrild, fair and gracious, If fortune favour me in mine attempts, And make the Queen of lovely Albion, Come, let us in and muster up our train, And furnish up our lusty soldiers, That they may be a bulwark to our state, And bring our wished joys to perfect end.SCENE II.
Enter Strumbo, Dorothy, Trompart, cobbling shoes and singing. To them enter Captain.

And yet our gains be much withal:
ALL.
Dan diddle dan.

With this art so fine and fair:
ALL.
Dan, dan, dan, dan.

For merry pastime and joyful glee:

Dan, dan, dan, dan.
STRUMBO.
Most happy men we Cobblers be:
ALL.
