    Jack Juggler (Quarto 1)

    760Naye, naye, it is his mai sters playe
    He seruithe me soo almo st euerye third daye
    But I wolbe euen with him as god geue me ioy
    And yet the faulte may bee in the boye
    As vngracious a graft so mot I thriue
    765As any goeth on goddes ground a lyue
    Careawaye
    My witte is breched in suche a brake
    That I cannot deuise what way is be st to take
    I was almo st as fare as my mai ster is
    770But then I begane to remember this
    And to ca st the wor st as on in fere
    yf he chaunce to see mee and kepe me there
    Tyl he cum him selfe, & speake with mi mai steris
    Then am I lyke to bee in sh rewd dy stres
    775yet were I better thought I to rune hom again
    And fyr st speake with her certayne
    Cockes bodie yonder she standeth at the dore
    Now is it wourse then it was before
    Wold chri st I could get againe out of hir syght
    780For I see be her looke she is disposid to fyght
    By ye lord she hath ther an angrie sh rewes looke
    Dame coye
    Loe yender cumithe that vnhappie hooke
    Careawaye
    785God saue you may steris doo you know me well
    Dame coye
    Cume ner hyther vnto mee, and I shall the tell
    Why thou noughtie vyllan is that thy gyce
    To ge st with thy mai steris in suche wise
    790take that to begyne with and god before
    When thy mai ster cumith home thou shalt haue more
