Talk:ducdame

The line gives 'ducdame' three times. This is likely to be a literal translation of the Welsh 'Dewch gyda fi' meaning - come with me -. This fits the circumstances of the play and neatly echoes the earlier lines in the same scene 'Come hither, come hither, come hither'.

The musicians in the play, instrumentalists and singers, were likely to be drawn from Welsh-speaking Londoners; and Augustine Phillips, a prominent member of The Chamberlain's Men, who organised their music, was a Londoner who came from a Welsh family and who probably spoke the language.
