Knight, thou art but dead, If thou thou recall not thy uncourteous terms. Break's pate Raph, break's pate Raph, soundly. Come Knight, I am ready for you, now your pestle Shall try what temper, sir, your Mortars off With that he stood upright in his stirrups, And gave the Knight of the calf-skin such a knock, That he forsook his horse and down he fell, And then he leaped upon him and plucking of his Helmet. Nay, and my noble Knight be down so soon, Though I can scarely go I needs must run. Run Raph, run Raph, run for thy life boy, Iasper comes, Iasper comes. Come Luce, we must have other Arms for you, Humphrey and Golden Pestle both adieu. Sure the devil, God bless us, is in this springal, why George, didst ever see such a fire-drake, I am afraid my boy's miscarried, if he be, though he were Master Mery-thoughts son a thousand times, if there be any Law in England I'll make some of them smart for't. No, no, I have found out the matter sweetheart, Iasper is enchanted, as sure as we are here, he is enchanted, he could no more have stood in Raph's hands, than I can stand in my Lord Majors, I'll have a ring to discover all enchantments, and Raph shall beat him yet: be no more vexed for it shall be so. O husband here's Raph again, stay Raph let me speak with thee, how dost thou Raph? art thou not shrewdly hurt? the soul great Lung is laid unmercifully on thee, there's some sugar-candy for thee, proceed, thou shalt have another bout with him. If Raph had him at the Fencing-school, if he did not make a puppy of him, and drive him up and down the school he should near come in my shop more. Truly Master Knight of the Burning Pestle I am weary. Indeed la mother and I am very hungry. Take comfort gentle Dame, and you fair Squire, For in this Desert there must needs be placed, Many strong Castles, held by courteous Knights, And till I bring you safe to one of those, Is wear by this my Order near to leave you. Well said Raph, George, Raph was ever comfortable, was he not? Yes Duck. I shall near forget him, when we had lost our child, you know, it was strayed almost, alone, to Puddle-wharfe and the Criers were abroad for it, and there it had drowned itself but for a Sculler, Raph was the most comfortablest to me: peace Mistress, says he, let it go, I'll get you another as good, did he not George? did he not say so? Yes indeed did he mouse. I would we had a mess of Pottage, and a pot of drink, Squire, and were going to bed. Why we are at Waltham Towns end, and that's the Bell Inn.
