Fut, art not thou drunk this morning, canst not receive the money that's due to thee? I tell thee I had ten pounds worth of ware here. And I tell thee Iohn Goodfellow, here's no such name in our book, nor no such ware delivered. God's precious, there's a jest indeed, so a man may be sworn out of himself, had not I ten pounds worth of ware here? No Goodman goose, that you had not. Hyday, here's excellent fellows, are able to make their masters horns grow through his head in a month, they cannot only carelessly deliver away his ware, but also they will not take money for it when it comes. Do you hear Hoyden, and my master were not in the next room, I'd knock you about ears for playing the knave with us, ere you parted. By the mass I think your master had more need knock you about the ears, for playing the jacks with him, there's your ten pounds, tell it out with a wanion, and take it for your pains. Fut, here's a mad slave indeed will give us ten pound in spite of our teeths. Fellow Nimble Chaps, alas let the poor fellow alone, it appears he is besides himself. By the mass, I think you will sooner make your master stark mad, if you play thus with everybody. Hyday, bones a me, here's lazy knaves. Past eight o'clock, and neither ware sorted, Not shop swept. Good morrow to you sir, have you any more stomach to receive money, than your men have this morning? Money is welcome chaffer, welcome good friend, Welcome good friend. Here's monsieur malapert your man, scorns to receive it. How knaves, think scorn to receive my money? Bones a me grown proud, proud knaves, proud. I hope we know sir you do not use to bring up your servants to receive money unless it be due unto you. No bones a me knaves, not for a million: Friend, come to pay me money, for what, for what, For what come you to pay me money? Why Sir, for ware I had some month ago, Being Pins, Points, and Laces, Poting sticks for young wives, for young wenches glasses, Ware of all sorts which I bore at my back To sell where I come, with what do you lack, what do you lack? What do you lack? Bones a me a merry knave: what's thy name? My name sir is Iohn Goodfellow, An honest poor peddler of Kent. And had ten pound in ware of me, a month ago: Bones give me the books, Iohn Goodfellow of Kent. O sir, Nomine & naturae, by name and nature, I am as well known for a goodfellow in Kent, As your City Summer's known for a knave, Come sir will you be telling. Tell me of no tellings, bones of me here's no such matters Away knave away, thou owest me none, out of my doors.
