    Jack Juggler (Quarto 1)

    This bedelem knaue without dought is mad
    Careawaye
    570No by god for all that I am a wyse lad
    And can cale to rememberaunce euery thyng
    That I dyd this daye, sithe my vperysinge
    For went not I with my may ster to daye
    Erelie in the mornyng to the Tenis playe?
    575At noone whyle my mai ster at his dynner sate
    Played not I at Dice at the gentylmans gate
    Did not I wayte on my mai ster too supperward
    And I thinke I was not chaũged ye way hõward
    Or ells yf you thynke I lye
    580Aske in the stret of them that I came bye
    And sith that I came hether into your presens
    what man lyuing could carye me hens
    I remembre I was sent to feache my mai steris
    And what I deuised to saue me harmeles
    585Doo not I speake now is not this my hande
    Be not these my feet yt on this ground stande?
    Did not this other knaue her knoke me about ye (hede?
    And beat me tyll I was almo st dede?
    How may it then bee, that he should bee I?
    590Or I not my selfe it is a shamfull lye
    I woll home to our house whosoeuer say naye
    For surelye my name is ienkin Careawaye
    Iake iugler
    I woll make thee say otheruise ere we depart if wee can
    595 Careawaye
    Nay that woll I not in faith for no man
    Except thou tell me what . thou ha st doone
    Euer syth fiue of the cloke this after noone
    Reherse me all that with out anye lye
