    Sum counnyng diuell is with in the payne of shame
    In nomine patris, god and our ble s s ed ladye
    Now and euermore saue me from thy cumpanie
    635 Iake iugler
    How now art thou Careawaye or not
    Careawaye
    By the lorde I doubte, but saye st thou nay to that
    Iake iugler
    640ye mary I tell the careawaye is my name
    Careawaye
    And by these tene bones myne is the same
    Or ells tell me yf I be not hee
    What my name frome hensforth shall bee
    645 Iake iugler
    By my faith the same that it was before
    Whan I lu st too be Careawaye no more
    Looke well vpon me and thou shalt see as now
    That I am ienkyne Careawaye and not thou
    650Tooke well a pon me, and by euerye thyng
    Thou shalt well know that I make no leasing
    Careawaye
    I se it is soo without any doubte
    But how the dyuell came it aboute
    655Why soo in England loke thee on hym stedelye
    Sall perceiue plainelye that he is I
    I haue sene my selfe a thousand times in a gla s s e
    But soo lyke my selfe as he is neuer was
    He hath in euerye poynt my clothing & my geare
    660My hed, my cape, my shirt and notted heare
    And of the same coloure, my yes, nose and lypps
    My chekes chyne, neake, fyte, leges, and hyppes
    Of the same stature, and hyght and age
