Sir I am free then from your fear. Nay as for that sir pardon me, I seldom exercise without that thought, What my text leads me to, I will pronounce, Maugre the devil of judgement. And mistress, might I be the man to strike the stroke. Right to a hair, 'tis mine, and I must do't I see my fees, my rich advantage, sirrah boy, Shall we have work, in faith and shall we? If I lock up this treason, let me perish, No sir, my breast is yet and uncorrupt and holy house, That harbors in it, nought but honesty, and to do This wrong to my patron, per deum atque hominem fidem. If keep secrets, can be but offence, and so 'tis now, May be, I lose my place, but theres a friend which Turning calls detraction, at his heals lives hope, Whose cunning quickness every fault to favour. Can you ward your self? Then in pluraliter, ah has a son. Sir, I have set my hand to't, sealed the deed, Pray God it cancel not in me. Nay I would done enough, I am undone in my self, Hei mihi quod nullos, I must do this deed, it I pauca the rest, I'll home sir, I. Long may you line, so sir I find you gentle, And a good benefactor to poor scholars, We would few such, many we rather have, That fell the Church rights, then maintain them, And in my next stanze, I shall tickle them.
