The Two Noble Kinsmen

1 Enter Jailer’s Daughter.
2 DAUGHTER.
3 I am very cold, and all the stars are out too,
4 The little stars and all, that look like aglets.
5 The sun has seen my folly. Palamon!
6 Alas, no; he’s in heaven. Where am I now?
7 Yonder’s the sea, and there’s a ship; how ’t tumbles!
8 And there’s a rock lies watching under water;
9 Now, now, it beats upon it; now, now, now,
10 There’s a leak sprung, a sound one! How they cry!
11 Run her before the wind, you’ll lose all else.
12 Up with a course or two, and tack about, boys!
13 Good night, good night; you’re gone. I am very hungry.
14 Would I could find a fine frog; he would tell me
15 News from all parts o’ th’ world; then would I make
16 A carrack of a cockle shell, and sail
17 By east and north-east to the king of pygmies,
18 For he tells fortunes rarely. Now my father,
19 Twenty to one, is trussed up in a trice
20 Tomorrow morning. I’ll say never a word.
21 [_Sings._]
22 _For I’ll cut my green coat a foot above my knee,
23 And I’ll clip my yellow locks an inch below mine eye.
24 Hey nonny, nonny, nonny.
25 He’s buy me a white cut, forth for to ride,
26 And I’ll go seek him through the world that is so wide.
27 Hey nonny, nonny, nonny._
28 O, for a prick now, like a nightingale,
29 To put my breast against. I shall sleep like a top else.
