Pray, whats the matter now? Who has been driving these sheep[*] to us?

These most shocking hussies call us sheep.

Their shepherds asleep, as they come straying thus from the flock.

But, i faith, they are not white; they both look dirty.

Because they have both been shorn just now.

How they seem to be laughing at us.
NICOBULUS
Let them, just as long as they please.

Dont you think that these sheep are shorn three times a year?

I faith, to-day one of them has been already shorn twice, thats sure.

They are old and fleeceless[*], both of them.

But I think they have been in good plight once.
