Be not offended I pray you, I must say more, your son is suspect, light fyngered to be. your daughter hath nice tricks three or four, See to it in time, least worse ye do see, He that spareth the rod, hateth the child truly, yet Solomon sober correction doth mean, Not to beat and bounce them to make them lame: God thank you mestres, I am well at ease Such a fool to teach me, preaching as she please, Damn ye belie them deadly I know plain, Because they go handsomely ye disdain, Then on the other as well would I complain, But your other son is good, and no thank to you These will ye make nought by sweet jesu. Eupliade, my children nought ye lie, By your malice they shall not set a sly, I have but one mome, in comparison of his brother Him the fool praiseth, and despiseth the other. Well Xantippe, better in time, then to late, Seing ye take it so, here my leave I take. Marry good leave have ye, the great god be with you My children or I be cursed I think, They be complained on where ever they go, That for their pleasure they might drink. Nay by this the poor fowls be come from serle weary, I will go get them meat to make them mercy, Lo, lo, here I bringer What is she now ye have her? A lusty minion lover. For no gold will I give her welcome my honey ay. Oh my heart. This wench can sing, And play her part, I am yours (and you mine) with all my heart. By the mass it is well song, were ye not sorry ye were a maid so long? Fie master iniquity fie, I am a maid yet, No sister no, your maiden head is sick: That knave your brother will be a blab still, I wiss Dalila ye can say as much by him, if ye wil. By him quoth ha, he hath whores two or three, But iche tell your minion doll, by gog's body: It skilleth not she doth hold you as much ye lie falsely, she will play me no such touch, Not she? yes to do your heart good I could tell you who putteth a bone in your hood. Peace whore, or ye bear me a box an there, Here is mine ear knave, strike and thou dare. To suffer him thus ye be no man, If ye will not revenge me, I will find one, To set so little by me, ye were not wont, Well, it is no matter. Though ye do ceteri nolunt, Peace Dalila, speak ye latin poor fool, No no, but a proverb I learned at school. yea sister, you went to school till ye were past grace
