Full speech
A small matter to recover a man that is slain, Blow wind in his tail, and fetch him again. What is he and honest man? the devil he is, he is the Parson of the Town, You think ther's no knavery hid under a black gown, Find him in a pulpit but twice in the year, And I'll find him forty times in the alehouse tasting strong bear. And I my Masters will make one, To fight when all our foes be gone, Well shall they see before wele lack, Wele stuff the Gallows till it crack. And for a little Captain I have the vantage of you all, For while you are a fighting, I can creep into a quart po I am so small. Let him take heed he bring a wise answer to our wor ships, or else his pledges goes to the pot. The rest of my fellow Captains are gone before to Grenewich to meet the King: That comes to know our minds, And while they be about it: I'll make good cheer, with my Goose here, Whats the Goose flown away without her head. You have a certain spare Goose came in to be roasted, She is enough by this. I faith Nobs I have made a bonfire here of a great many of Bonds and Indentures and Obligations, faith I have been amongst the ends of the Court, & among the Records, & all that I saw either in the Guildhall or in any other place, I have set fire on them, but where hast thou been? Well if we shall be hanged it is but a folly to be sorry, But go to it with a good stomach. Rydle me a riddle, whats this, I shall be hanged, I shall not be hanged. But peace here is the Kings Mother, she can do much with the King, I'll treat her to beg my pardon of the King wisely, I'll go to her, humbly unto your worships, a poor Captain Thomas Miller, requesting your favourable be quest, touching the permission of destroy, towards the said Captain Miller, which in blunt and flat terms is no minated, Sursum cordum, alis dictus hangum meum, from which place of torment God us all deliver, and grant us to be merciful while we live here together: Now Sir, un derstanding your worship is the Kings Mother, lamenta bly in the behalf before spoken, to stand between me and the Gallows or to beg my pardon, in which you shall not only save a proper handsome tall fellow and a stout Captain, but also you shall purchase the prayers of all the ale wives in the town, for saving a maltworm and a cum stomer to help away their strong ale. Will you in faith, and I will give you a tawdry lace. Sayest thou so my heart, then farewell my pardon: For I'll do as ye do, hang together for company. Oh Parson Ball, before you all, If all fallen out not well, by following thy counsel, And that by listening to thy talk, To the Gallows we do walk: Parson Ball I will tell thee. And swear it of mine honesty, Thou shalt be hanged as well as we.

ParSOHMBAll speaks out against social abuses and inequality, inciting the men of Kent to rise in rebellion under Straw and MW&@HllTyi@F; they are joined by men of Essex, and send their demands to the King through Sir J@HBMIMG@EHGh, holding his family hostage. The King agrees to meet them at Greenwich, but breaks the appointment when he sees their disorderly conduct. The rebels advance on London, freeing prisoners, burning legal documents, despoiling their fellow countrymen, and murdering immigrants who cannot speak English properly. The King makes a second attempt to parley, meets the rebels at Smithfield, and hears their grievances. The issue of a general pardon induces the Essex men to go home, but the Kentish rebels remain in arms under Tyler and Straw. At the third encounter with the King, Straw demands a courtier’s sword, and the BOFaIMA¥ar of London stabs him. The rebellion is put down, but the King is reluctant to order mass executions; only the ringleaders, Tyler and Ball, are to die. The Lord Mayor is rewarded with a knighthood.
