Original Text Modern Text
30 Katherine his daughter and with her, to dowry,
  Some petty and unprofitable dukedoms.
  The offer likes not, and the nimble gunner
  With linstock now the devilish cannon touches,
his daughter, Katherine, with some insignificant, unprofitable dukedoms as her dowry. The offer doesn't go over well, and the nimble gunner now moves to ignite the devilish canon.
Alarum, and chambers go off
Sounds of battle and gunfire from offstage.
  And down goes all before them. Still be kind
35 And eke out our performance with your mind.
Down goes everything in their path. Indulge us further and supplement our performance with your own imaginings.
Exit
The CHORUS exits.
