    Now walke precious thife get the out of my syght
    And I charge thee cum in my presens no more this night
    Get thee hens and wayte on thy mai ster at ons
    Careawaye
    860Mary syr this is handeling for the noons
    I wold I had byn hanged before that I was lo st
    I was neuer this canuased and to st
    That if my mai ster on his part also
    Handle me as my mai steris and the other I do
    865I shall surelie be killed bytwine theim thre
    And all the diuels in hell shal not saue me
    But yet if the other I might haue wt me parte
    All this wold neuer greue my harte
    iake iugler
    870Hou saye you mai sters I pray you tell
    Haue not I requited my marchent well
    Haue not I handelyd hym after a good sort
    Had it not byne pytie to haue lo st this sporte
    A none his mai ster on his behalphe
    875you shall see how he woll handle the calphe
    yf he throughlye angered bee
    He wol make hym smart so mot I thee
    I wold not for the price of a new payre of shoone
    That any parte of this had bynne vndune
    880But now I haue partelye reuenged my quarell

    And now let Careawaye be Careawaye agayne

    Except perauẽture I shal take ye selfesam wede
    885Sum other tyme agayne for a like cause & nide
    Boungrace
    Why then dary st thou to presume too tell mee
