Full speech
Come loitering knaves, speed about your business. Fetch me in, all idle vacaboundes. Search Duck alley, Cock lane, and Sc uldes corner, About your charge, lets see, how you can stir. What? runs your heads a wheels? Be packing both, and that betimes you are best. The King, I say, hath set us all a work, To search odd holes, where idle varlettes lurk. He so nypped, our Mayor for ill rule: As ever since, he hath be like to whule. And in a rage, the man is now so hot, As lewd Persons, tag, and rag, goes to pot. But in chief, he storms, at fine Mistress Lamia. She drinks, for all, come she once in his way. And least she escape, my self forsooth he wills, Worshipfully to fetch his, with forty Bills. Well, I must go, and work our Majors beast, No force, for once, she will never be honest. And nothing but chastment, will help you to amend, Well, I will not hurt you, your lewdness to defend. Thou hast wind at will, but in thy eyes no water: though art full of Grace, how she blusheth at the matter. Are me, when whypping hath changed thy Nature. No, but a beast, that meetly well will bore. Bring his away, I know how to tame his. Come on fair Dame, since fair words, works no heed, Now fowl means shall: in you repentance breed.
Plot summary
Plot — 2 Promos and Cassandra
Alerted by the raped @assandra, King @6nihGs is coming to Gyula to investigate the activities of his deputy, Lord Promos. PHalaX has to organize the city’s dramatic welcome at short notice. The King makes his royal entry, but refuses the town’s gift of a purse. Sir WIFIES is appointed and proclaimed as the ombudsman to investigate allegations of official corruption, pending a hearing before the King. The complaints flood in, and promoters take the opportunity to extort money with the threat of arrest. At the hearing, Phallax is accused of extortion, and confesses; his goods are seized and he is forced to resign his office, but his admission saves him from other punishment. Then Cassandra discloses Promos’s treachery in raping her and murdering her brother. Promos confesses, and the King sentences him to death, but requires him to marry Cassandra first. Vice is suppressed in Gyula: Baila the courtesan is arrested and carted, and Phallax leaves town in search of easier pickings. AaTuBIG has been living in the forest. Told of recent events by John A@roynes, he returns to the town in disguise, where he witnesses Cassandra’s pleas for her new husband’s life. Promos is led to execution, but is reprieved when Andrugio reveals himself to the King. Promos and Andrugio are pardoned, and Andrugio required to marry P6lifia. Promos is restored to office, with a warning to act justly and beware his subordinates’ corruption.
