Full speech
My master stands too near the fire, Trust him not wench, he will prove a liar. Oh swear not master, flesh is frail, Wench when the sign is in the tail, Mighty is love and will prevail, This Churchman doth but flatter thee. Now master as I am true wag, I will be neither late nor lag, But go and come with gossips cheer, Ere Gib our Cat can lick her care. For long ago I learned in school, That lovers desire, and pleasures cool: Sanct Ceres sweets and Bacchus vine, Now master for the Cakes and Wine. My lords, 'tis and odd fellow I can tell you, As any is in all Wales: He can sing rhyme with reason, and rhyme without reason, And without reason or rhyme. Yea, and of the best in the market, And your Lordship would vouchsafe to hear them. I master and you mark him, he hit the mark pat. Now sir, if our country Ale, were as good as your Metheglen, I would teach you to play the knave. or you should teach me to play the Harper. Oh master doubt you not but your Novice will prove a hot shot, with a bottle of Methegl . Come fellows, cast your selves even round in a string, a ring I would say, come merely on my word for the Queen is most liberal, and if you will please her well she will pay you royally, so lawful to brave well thy Brittishe lustily, to solace our good Queen God save her Grace, and give our young Prince a carpell in their kind, come on come on set your crouds and beat your heads together and behave you handsomely. Hold up your torches for dropping. Be sure of that, for we go all the high way to the Gallows I warrant you. undam ted tedo dote dum, this is the day that time is come Morgan Pigots prophecy and Lord Lluel lens Tragedy. Why thus: when legs shall loose their length, And thanks yield up their strength: Returning weary home from out the holy land, A Well man shall be king, And govern merr e England. Why my Lord. in this prophesy, is your advancement as plainly seen, as a three halfpence through a dish of butter in a sunny date. Nonego master, do you and you dare. It seemed to me thou art fittest, and passing well.
Plot summary
Plot — Edward the First
Edwardilongshanks returns from the crusades to find that in his absence both his father and his son have 1591 died, and that he is now King of England. He makes provision to house his wounded veterans, and all the nobility contribute handsomely. His @W@8n asks him to defer the coronation to give her time to send to Spain for the latest fashions. MEW was planning to take advantage of Edward’s absence to secure his power in Wales. A Welshliprophet encourages him with the assertion that he will mount higher than all his kin. Now he intends reprisals against Edward for the detention of his betrothed wife, DA@VMEI@HGr, daughter of an English rebel. His brother DaWid, a spy in the English court, proposes getting himself captured by the Welsh in order to create a pretext for an exchange of prisoners. The plan goes awry when the Welsh soldiers agree to make peace with the English, on condition that Edward does not impose direct rule from England. Llewelyn and his entourage pose as Robin Hood, and waylay passers-by in the forest. M@riimiér, who loves Lady Eleanor, goes to Wales and joins in the masquerade by assuming the identity of the potter from the Robin Hood story; but this means he gets a thrashing. To comply with the Welsh demand for a Welsh-born prince, Edward summons the pregnant Queen to Wales, where she gives birth to a son: Edward, Prince of Wales. The loyal Welsh present the child with a frieze mantle, but the Queen takes offence at the homespun fabric. Edward promises her a boon, and she demands that the English men should cut their long hair and beards, and that the English women’s breasts should be likewise amputated; Edward is forced to consent, but the Queen is displeased that he insists on being the first to go under the barber, and withdraws her request when he proposes that she should likewise undergo the first mastectomy. Prince Edward is christened and the Queen’s daughter, J6am, married to the BarllshiGlowcester. The nine lords of Scotland are unable to agree which of them should be king, so they approach Edward to adjudicate. He crowns JOHHMBalliG], who endows an Oxford college in gratitude, but later asserts Scotland’s independence from England. In Wales, Edward is set upon by Llewelyn and his crew of outlaws, who demand half his money. Instead he proposes single combat, winner take all. Llewelyn is beaten, but Edward spares his life in order to save Mortimer. He then goes to deal with the Scottish insurrection, leaving Mortimer to mop up…
