Full speech
I live not Lambert to content the dead, Nor was I wedded but for life to her, The graves ends and begins a married state. I cannot trick it up with poesies, Nor paint my passion with comparisons, Nor tell a tall of Phebus and his loves, But this beeleue me Laxfield here is mine, Of ancient rend seven hundred pounds a year, And if thou canst but love acountrie squire, I will infeoff thee Margret in all, I can not flatter, try me if thou please. Let it be me and trust me Margret, The meads environed with the silver streams, Whose Batling pastures fatneth all my flocks, Yielding forth fleeces stapled with such wool, As Lempster cannot yield more finer stuff And forty kine with fair and burnished heads, With strutting dugs that paggle to the ground, Shall serve thy dary if thou wed with me. I am the lan lord keeper of thy holds, By copy all thy living lies in me. Laxfield did never see me raise my endue, I will infeofe fair Margret in all, So she will take her to a lusty squire. Then this for her. And I, Lord have mercy on me. Thou seest I single thee the field, And what I spoke, I'll maintain with my sword: Stand on thy guard I cannot scold it out. And if thou kill me, think I have a son, That lives in Oxford in the Brodgates hall, Who will revenge his father's blood with blood. Lambert I tell thee thou art importunate, Such beauty fits not such a base esquire It is for Serlsby to have Margret. I'll aunswe e Lamb rt what I have avouched Margret farewell, another time shall serve.
Plot summary
Plot — Friar Bacon and Friar Bongay
Primce Bdwafd is in love with the country wench Margarety and he orders Bay to woo her on his behalf. He does so, but she falls for him rather than the Prince. Meanwhile BRiamlBaeoH is questioned by his academic superiors, who suspect him of practising black magic. He explains his plans to make a brazen head which will lecture in philosophy, and to surround England with a defensive wall of brass. The one sceptic, DEIBOTGER, is shown up when Bacon uses his powers to reveal that he sneaks off at night to play cards at a tavern when he should be reading. Prineejkdward and Ralphithelfeal swap clothes and identities when visiting Bacon, but he sees through the deception with ease. Bacon shows Edward events at Suffolk through a magic mirror: Daey is wooing Margaret for himself, and they are to be married by FriamBungay; but Bacon magically strikes Bungay dumb, then brings him to Oxford for dinner. Edward rides to Suffolk to confront Lacy, but Margaret’s determination reconciles him to the situation: even if he tries to remove the obstacle by killing Lacy, she will never love him and will kill herself to be with Lacy. Prince Edward’s future wife, Elifi@f of Castile, arrives in England with a group of foreign potentates. The Emperor of Germany has brought along Wandérmast} a famous magician, to compete with England’s best scholars at Oxford. Vandermast’s first opponent in magic is BriamBuiigay, who conjures up a golden tree. Vandermast summons Hercules to pull it down, but Hercules proves to be more subservient to Fraribacen) who completes his victory by magically sending Vandermast back to Germany. At the ensuing dinner, th@|Emiperot is offended by the mean academic fare, so Bacon conjures up a more sumptuous feast. Bacon’s brazen head is ready, but he is tired from staying up all night waiting for it to speak. He appoints his scholar Miles to watch, and wake him when it does. The head speaks enigmatically and is magically destroyed, but Miles fails to wake his master in time. Bacon sacks him and later sends a devil to carry him to Hell. Two country squires want to marry Margarée but she asks for ten days’ grace to make a decision, confident that Lacy will come for her before then. What actually arrives is a letter telling her that he is to marry someone else, so she decides to enter a nunnery. The two squires kill one another in a duel, and their sons, watching from Oxford through Bacon’s magic mirror, do the same. Bacon smashes the mirror in remorse and…
