Nest.

Tell him of Nestor, one that was a man

When Hectors Grandsire suckt: he is old

now,

But if there be not in our Grecian mould,

One Noble man, that hath one spark of fire

To answer for his Loue; tell him from me,

Ile hide my Siluer beard in a Gold Beauer,

And in my Vantbrace put this wither'd brawne,

And meeting him, wil tell him, that my Lady

Was fayrer then his Grandame, and as chaste

As may be in the world: his youth in flood,

Ile pawne this truth with my three drops of blood.
