And it will please you to help to sing a ballet before you go, I will teach you cunningly to make the water. I know the peddler can sing pleasantly, Both upon the book, and also without. I will sing, seeing he desireth me so instantly, But to sing by heart, to agree I stand in doubt. Behold I have ballet books here, Truly pricked, with your rests, and where you shall come in. Then we sour will make an honest quere, I will follow, if the peddler will begin. I have business, I must needs go hence, Farewell peddler, thou know'st my mind. Against my coming, provide a purse of pence, For I can sell you a prosperous and a good wind. I have in my pack also another stone, Used with another thing that I do know, Will cause a rough wind soon to be calm anon, And in what quarter you will the wind to blow.
