Who I No, I defy thee: God's light I was never called so in mine own house before. Go to. I know you well enough. No, sir Iohn you do not know me, sir Iohn, I know you sir Iohn, you own me money sir Iohn, and now you pick a quarrel to beguile me of it, I bought you a dozen of shirts to your back. Doulas, filthy Doulas. I have given them away to Baker's wives, they have made boulters of them. Now as I am a true woman, holland of viii s. an ell, you own money here, besides sir Iohn, for your diet, and by drink, and money lent you xxiiii. pound. He had his part of it, let him pay. He, alas he is poor, he hath nothing. How? poor? look upon his face. What call you rich? let them coin his nose, let them coin his cheeks, i'll not pay a denier: what will you make a younker of me? shall I not take mine ease in mine Inn, but I shall have my pocket picked? I have lost a seal ring of my grandfathers worth forty mark. O Iesu, I have heard the Prince tell him I know not how oft, that that ring was copper. How? the prince is a jack, a sneakeup, 'Zblood and he were here, I would cudgel him like a dog if he would say so. How now lad, is the wind in that door i'faith, must we all march? Yea, two, and two, Newgate fashion. My Lord, I pray you hear me. What sayst thou mistress quickly, how doth thy husband? I love him well, he is an honest man. Good my Lord hear me? Prithee let her alone, and list to me. What sayst thou jack. The other night I fell a sleep here, behind the Arras, and had my pocket picked, this house is turned bawdy house, they pick pockets. What didst thou lose jack? Wilt thou believe me Hall, three or four bonds of forty pound a piece, and a seal ring of my grandfathers. A trifle, some eight penny matter. So I told him my Lord, and I said I heard your grace say so: & my lord he speaks most vilely of you, like a foul mouthed man as he is, and said he would cudgel you. What he did not? There's neither faith, truth, not womanhood in me else. There's no more faith in thee then in a stewed prune, nor no more truth in thee then in a drawn fox, and for womandood maid marion may be the deputies wife of the ward to thee. Go you thing, go. Say what thing, what thing? What thing? why a thing to thank God on.
