::1. Be Peace! Ye make me spill my ale! Now think ye this is a fair way? Let go! I say! Straw for your tale! Leff work a twentyadevil away! Ween ye that ev'rybody list to play? Abide a while! What have ye haste? I trow for all your great affray, Ye will not make too huge a waste. ::2. Come, kiss me! Nay! By God, ye shall! By Christ, I nill, what says the man? Ye hurt my leg against the wall; Is this the gentry that ye can? Take to give all, and be still then! Now ye have laid me on the floor; But had I wist when ye began, By Christ,I would have shut the door.
