Welcome Clunch & good fellows all that come with my good man for my good man's sake come on sit down here is a piece of cheese & a pudding of my own making. Thanks Gammer a good example for the wives of our town. Gammer thou and thy good man sit lovingly together, we come to chat and not to eat. Well Masters if you will eat nothing take away: Come, what do we to pass away the time? Lay a crab in the fire to roast for Lambswool; what shall we have a game at Trump or Ruff to drive away the time, how say you? This Smith leads a life as merry as a King with Madge his wife; sirrah Frolic, I am sure thou art not without some round or other, no doubt but Clunch can bear his part. Else think you me ill brought up, so set to it when you will. whenas the Rye reach to the chin, And chopcherry chopcherry ripe within, Strawberries swimming in the cream, And school boys playing in the stream: Then O, then O, then O my true love said, Till that time come again, She could not live a maid. This sport does well: but methinks Gammer, a merry winter's tale would drive away the time trimly, come I am sure you are not without a score. i'faith Gammer a tale of an hour long were as good as an hours sleep. Look you Gammer, of the Giant and the king's Daughter, and I know not what, I have seen the day when I was a little one, you might have drawn me a mile after you with such a discourse. Well, since you be so importunate, my good man shall fill the pot and get him to bed, they that ply their work must keep good hours, one of you go lie with him, he is a clean skinned man I tell you, without either spavin or windgall, so I am content to drive away the time with an old wives winter's tale. No better hay in Devonshire, a my word Gammer, I'll be one of of your audience. And I another that's flat. Then must I to bed with the good man, Bonanox Gammer, God night Frolic. Come on my Lad, thou shalt take thy unnatural rest with me. Yet this vantage shall we have of them in the morning, to be ready at the sight thereof extempore. Now this bargain my Masters must I make with you, that you will say hum & ha to my tale, so shall I know you are awake. Content Gammer that will we do. Once upon a time there was a King or a Lord, or a Duke that had a fair daughter, the fairest that ever was; as white as snow, and as red as blood: and once upon a time his daughter was stolen away, and he sent all his men to seek out his daughter, and he sent so long, that he sent all his men out of his Land.
