Why makes thou it so strange, seeing Cupid hath led our young master to the fair La die and she is the only Saint that he hath sworn to serve. Hush a dog in the wood, or a wooden dog, Oh comfortable hearing! I had even as live the Chamberlain of the white Horse had called me up to bed. This Smith leads a life as mere rye as a King with Madge his wife; Syrrha From lick, I am sure thou art not without some round or other, no doubt but Clunch can bear his partly. I faith Gammer a tale of and hour long were as good as and hours sleep. No better hay in Devonshire, a my word Gammer, I'll be one of of your audience. Well said, on with your tale Gammer. Let them alone, let us hear what they will say. Gammer, what is he? But hark you gammer, me thinks this Jack boar a great sway in the parish. I, I, let us fit still and let them alone. Lo here we come a reaping, a reaping, To reap our harvest fruit, And thus we pass the year so long, And never be we mute. Exit the harvest me ̄ . Me thinks the Conjurer should put the fool into a Juggling box. What Gammer, a sleep? Then you have made and end of your tale Gammer?
Plot summary
Plot — The Old Wives Tale
PLOT Lost in the woods, three pages encounter Clunch the smith, and accept the hospitality of his cottage. One of them goes to bed with him while his wife, Madge, tells the others a tale. Delia, the daughter of the King of Thessaly, has been abducted by the sorcerer Sacrapant, who can only be killed by a dead man, and whose power depends on a light in a glass which can only be broken by a woman who is neither wife, widow, nor maid. Delia's two brothers come to England in search of her, and meet Erestus. They give him alms and he prophesies to them. He too is a victim of Sacrapant, who has transformed him into an old man by day and a bear by night, and driven his betrothed lady, Venelia, out of her mind. The brothers enter Sacrapant's domain, but are imprisoned by Furies and set to work digging for gold. Delia, forgetting her identity under the influence of a potion, is appointed as their overseer. Others are also searching for Delia. One is the wandering knight Eumenides, another the braggart Huanebango; the former gives generous alms to Erestus, but the latter refuses. Eumenides happens upon a fight between Wiggen and the parish officials, who are refusing to bury Wiggen's dead brother Jack; Eumenides resolves the dispute by giving all his remaining money to pay for the funeral. Huanebango attempts to force his way into Sacrapant's cell, and is ejected by the Furies; Sacrapant strikes him deaf and Corebus blind. Lampriscus has two daughters, one ugly in looks and the other in temperament. Erestus advises that they should fetch water from the well of life and there see their fortune. Zantippa, the ill-tempered one, maltreats the well's spirit, a head, but finds the unconscious, newly deaf Huanebango lying beside it: her future husband will be unable to hear her shrewish words. Celanta, the ill-faced one, becomes the blind Corebus' wife. She treats the head in the well better, and is rewarded with corn and gold. The despairing Eumenides meets Jack, and accepts him as a companion. At a tavern, the knight will not eat because he cannot pay, but finds his purse miraculously full of money. He vows to give Jack a half share in everything he gets on his travels. Jack renders Eumenides resistant to Sacrapant's magic by stopping his ears, then invisibly takes the enchanter's sword and garland. Sacrapant falls dead. Eumenides digs up the glass light, but is unable to break it; that falls to Venelia, who, being betrothed but unwed, is neither maid nor wife, and so…
