What would you have of me? Money I have none, and i'll sell no stock, here's old polling, subsidy, fifteen, soldiers, and to the poor, and you may have your will, you'll soon shut me out a door. Hear ye worships, will ye let me answer my neighbour Grudgen? By my halidom Harry Grudgen, thou'rt but a grumbling, grudging Churl, thou hast two ploughs going, and near a Cradle rocking, thou'st a peck of money, go to, turn thee loose, thou'lt go to law with the Micat for a tithe goose, and wilt not spare the King four or five pound. Gep goodman Tanner, are ye so round? your prolicatenes has brought your son to the gallows almost, you can be frank of another man's cost.
