What sayest thou, Mannering? Well, hie thee to Wakefield, bid the Town To send me all provision that I want; Least I, Like martial Tamberlain, lay waste Their bordering Countries, And leaving none alive that contradicts my Commission. Do so Neck: hie thee thither presently, And let us hear of thee again to morrow. No: I will lie at Bradford all this night, And all the next: come, Bonfield, let us go, And listen out some bonny lasses here. It shall be so. Grime, gramercy, Shut up the daughter, bridle her affects, Let me not miss her when I make return: Therefore look to her, as to thy life, good Grime. Now we have put the horses in the corn, Let us stand in some corner for to hear, What braving terms the pinner will breathe, When he spies our horses in the corn. Whither away, sir? Sirrah, those three horses belong to us, and we put Them in, and they must tarry there, and eat their fill. Peace, saucy mate, prate not to us: I tell thee, pinner, we are gentlemen. Thou? how art thou a gentleman? Pray thee let me hear how? Why man, thou knowest not us, We do belong to Henry Momford Earl of Kendal, Men that before a month be full expire, Will be king Edwards betters in the land. I, so me thinks, but thou shalt deer aby this blow. Now or never lay hold on the pinner. What dost thou murmur, George? Why dost thou strike me then? Well, George, wilt thou leave Wakefielde and Weened with me, I'll freely put up all and pardon thee. Come away Jenkin. Here are two or three poor men, father, Would speak with you. Go, Jenkin, fetch him forth. Father, here is three poor men come to question Thee a word in secret that concerns their lives. Father, I am sure you hear the news, How that the Earl of Kendal wars against the king, Now father we three are Gentlemen by birth, But younger brothers that want revenues, And for the hope we have to be preferred, If that we knew that we shall win, We will march with him: If not, we will not march a foot to London more. Therefore good father, tell us what shall happen, Whither the King or the Earl of Kendal shall win. Art thou sure of that? Why this is wondrous, being blind of sighed, His deep perseverance should be such to know us. Father, we come not for advice in war, But to know whither we shall win or lose. I marry father, what man is that? What shall he? He, as how? But so it shall not by my honour Christ. I'll raise my camp, and fire Wakefield town, And take that servile pinner George a Green, And butcher him before king Edwards face. Jenkin, fetch him his walking staff. Villain, hast thou betrayed us? Good my Lord. Gracious is Edward to offending subjects. As I am Henry Momford, Kendals Earl, You honour me with this assent of yours, And here upon my sword I make protest, For to relieve the poor, or die myself: And know, my Lords, that James, the King of Scots, Wars hard upon the borders of this land: Here is his Post: say, John Tailor, What news with King James? My friends, you see what we have to win. Well, John, commend me to king James, And tell him I will meet him the 26. of this month, And all the rest: and so farewell. Come, Neck, follow me. Such news, Bonfild, as will make thee laugh, And fret thy fill, to hear how Neck was used: Why, the Justices stand on their terms; Neck, as you know, is haughty in his words; He laid the law unto the Justices, With threatening braves, that one looked on another, Ready to stoop: but that a churl came in, One George a Green, the pinner of the town. And with his dagger drawn laid hands on Neck, And by no beggars swore that we were traitors, Rend our Commission, and upon a brave, Made Neck to eat the seals, or brook the stab: Poor Mannering afraid, came posting hither straight. And Bettris, leave a base pinner, for to love and Earl, Fain would I see this pinner George a Green. It shall be thus: Neck Mannering shall lead on the battle, And we three will go to Wakefield in some disguise: But howsoever, I'll have his head to day. Why George, I rise not against king Edward, But for the poor that is oppressed by wrong, From whence came you? where do you dwell? W Elcome to Bradford, martial gentlemen, L. Bonfild, & sir Gilbert Armstrong both, And all my troops, eve ̄ to my basest groom, Courage and welcome; for the day is ours: Our cause is good, it is for the lands avail: Then let us fight, and die for England's good. Well pinner, sith our horses be in, In spite of thee they now shall feed their fill, And eat until our leisures serve to go.
