What pretty maid? will ye talk when I speak? No forsooth good mistress. Will ye my tale break? He threateneth to come hither with all his force to fight, I charge you if he come, on him with all your might. I with my distaff will reach him one rap. And I with my new broom will sweep him one swap, And then with our great club I will reach him one rap. And I with our skimmer will fling him one flap. Then Trupenie's firefork will him shrewdly fray, And you with the spit may drive him quite away. Go make all ready, that it may be e'en so. For my part I shrew them that last about it go. TRupenie did promise me to run a great pace, My friend Tristram Trusty to fet into this place. In deed he dwelleth hence a good start I confess: But yet a quick messenger might twice since as I guess, Have gone and come again. Ah yond I spy him now. Ye are a slow goer sir, I make God avow. My mistress Custance will in me put all the blame, Your legs be longer than mine: come apace for shame. I can thee thank Trupenie, thou hast done right weal. Mistress since I went no grass hath grown on my hele, But master Tristram Trusty here maketh no speed. That he came at all I thank him in very deed, For now have I need of the help of some wise man. Then may I be gone again, for none such I m. Ye may be by your going: for no Alderman Can go I dare say, a sadder pace than ye can. Trupenie get thee in, thou shalt among them know, How to use thyself, like a proper man I trow. I go. Now Tristram Trusty I thank you right much. For at my first sending to come ye never grudge. Dame Custance God ye save, and while my life shall last, For my friend Goodluck's sake ye shall not send in waste. He shall give you thanks. I will do much for his sake But alack, I fear, great displeasure shall be take. Wherefore? For a foolish matter. What is your cause I am ill accumbered with a couple of daws. Nay weep not woman: but tell me what your cause is As concerning my friend is any thing amiss? No not on my part: but here was Sym Suresby. He was with me and told me so. And he stood by While Ralph Roister Doister with help of Merrygreek, For promise of marriage did unto me seek. And had ye made any promise before them twain. No I had rather be torn in pieces and slain, No man hath my faith and troth, but Gavin Goodluck, And that before Suresby did I say, and there stuck, But of certain letters there were such words spoken. He told me that too.

What pretie maide? will ye talke when I speake? No forsooth good mistresse. Will ye my tale breake? He threatneth to come hither with all his force to fight, I charge you if he come, on him with all your might. I with my distaffe will reache hym one rappe. And I with my newe broome will swéepe hym one swappe, And then with our greate clubbe I will reache hym one rappe. And I with our skimmer will fling him one flappe. Then Trupenies fireforke will him shrewdly fray, And you with the spitte may driue him quite away. Go make all ready, that it may be éen so. For my parte I shrewe them that last about it go.
