    Jack Juggler (Quarto 1)

    For he told me when he forth wente
    That thou shoulde st cume bake a gaine incontynente
    To brynge me to supper where he now is
    795And thou ha st plaid by the waye, & they haue don by this
    But no force I shall thou maie st tru st mee
    Teache all naughtie knaues to beware by thee
    Careawaye
    For sothe mai steris yf you knew as much as I
    800ye woulde not be with me halfe so angrie
    For the faulte is neither in mi mai ster nor in me nor you
    But in an other knaue that was here euen now
    And his name was ienkin Careawaie
    Dame coye
    805What I see my man is disposid to playe
    I wine he be dronken or mad I make god a vou
    Careawaye
    Nay I haue byn made sobre and tame I now
    I was neuer so handelid before in all my lyfe
    810I would euery man in Englond had so beat me hys wyfe
    I haue forgotten withe tousing by the here
    What I deuysed to say a lytle ere
    Dame coye
    Haue I lo st my supper this nyght through thy negligẽce
    815 Careawaye
    Nay then were I a knaue mi steris, sauing your reuirẽce
    Dame coye

    Careawaye
    820ye that it is more then an our agone
    Dame coye
    And was not thou sent to feache mee theyther
    Careawaye
