Happy that Cobbling dame, who ere she be, That for her own (dear Rafe) hath gotten thee. Unhappy I, that near shall see the day To see thee more, that bear'st my heart away. Lady farewell, I needs must take my leave. hard-hearted Rafe, that Ladies dost deceive. Hark thee Rafe, there's money for thee; give something in the King of Cracovia's house, be not beholding to him. Lady before I go, I must remember Your father's Officers, who truth to tell, Have been about me very diligent. Hold up thy snowy hand thou princely maid, There's twelve pence for your father's Chamberlain, And another shilling for his Cook, For by my troth the Goose was roasted well. And twelvepence for your father's horse-keeper, For 'nointing my horse back; and for his butter There is another shilling. To the maid That washed my boot-hose, there's an English groat; And two pence to the boy that wiped my boots: And last, fair Lady, there is for yourself Three pence to buy you pins at Bumbo fair. Full many thanks, and I will keep them safe Till all the heads be off, for thy sake Rafe. Advance my Squire and Dwarf, I cannot stay. Thou kill'st my heart in parting thus away. I commend Rafe yet that he will not stoop to a Craconian, there's properer women in London than any are there Iwis. But here comes Master Humphrey and his love again now George. I coney, peace. Go get you up, I will not be entreated. And gossip mine, I'll keep you sure hereafter From gadding out again with boys and unthrifts, Come, they are women's tears, I know your fashion. Go sirrah, lock her in, and keep the key, Safe as you love your life. Now my son Humphrey, You may both rest assured of my love In this, and reap your own desire. I see this love you speak of, through your daughter, Although the hole be little; and hereafter Will yield the like in all I may, or can, Fitting a Christian, and a gentleman. I do believe you (my good son) and thank you: For 'twere an impudence to think you flattered. It were indeed, but shall I tell you why, I have been beaten twice about the lie. Well son, no more of complement, my daughter Is yours again; appoint the time, and take her, We'll have no stealing for it, I myself And some few of our friends will see you married. I would you would i'faith, for be it known I ever was afraid to lie alone. Some three days hence then. Three days, let me see, 'Tis somewhat of the most, yet I agree, Because I mean against the appointed day, To visit all my friends in new array. Sir, there's a Gentlewoman without would speak with your Worship.
