Alas poor soul what didst thou coming hither, I think for all thy comfort thou art never the better. I can do thee no good I did mistake thy matter, Thou art come hither in vain, thou hast lost thy labour. You promised me that I should not be troubled, By my troth for all that thou art like to be hanged. If the law should not be executed of thieves and robbers, Men should not live in quiet for loitering lubbers. Shall I tell thee one thing in thine care sirrah, Thou art sure shortly to play sursome corda. I trust Sir you will not go against your word. Get thee hence prating knave, I can do thee no good. God have mercy on us without a man have money He shallbe cast away for a trifle we see: But the thieves and robbers that with money be stored Escape well enough, but the poor thieves be hanged. Ahe Serra, here was a suitor that was not for my profit, None such were appointed to come by the proclamation: We should make a wise market if for such we should sit, They shall starve and hang before of such I have compassion. Through him you shall see none after will come, Unless they have money either more or some. Is not my grandfather Money think ye of great power That could save from hanging such abominable whore, That against all nature her own child did kill? Thus you may do for money what mischief you will. And yonder poor knave that did steal for his need A few sort of rags, and not all worth a crown, Because he lacks money shallbe hanged for that deed, You may see my Grandsire is a man of renown: It were meet when I named him that you all kneeled down. Nay, make it not so strange, for the best of you all, Do love him so well, you will come at his call. methinks I do hear one knock at the door, He shall find me his good master if he be not to poor. Knock softly in the mischief, who made you so bold? I am William with the two wives, I have brought my lord gold. Let him in, let him in, I will his matter hear, I will dispatch him quickly he need not to fear. My Lord from Money I have brought you such a token That I trust from my trouble I shall soon be holpen: forty old angels I trust will you please, Beseeching you therefore my matter to ease. I have felt thee already, now let me hear thee whatever thy matter be I will soon speed thee. Marry he hath two wives, and I think he would have another. He shall have two more if it be his pleasure.
