149Tyll Ienkine thought he had wrong

150By cokes precious pot stike I wyll not home this nyght

151Quod he, but as good a stripe oon thie hed light

152Within halfe an houre or sume what lese

153Ienkine lefte playng, and went to feache his mai steris

154But by the waie he met with a freuters wife

155Ther Ienkine and she fell at suche strife

156For snatching of an Apple, that doune he ca st

157Her basket, and gatherid vp the apples fa st

158And put them in his sleue, then came he his waye

159By an other lane as fa st as he maye

160Tyll he came at a corner by a shoops stall

161Wher boies were at Dice, faryng at all

162When Careawaye with that good cumpany met

163He fell to faring withouten let

164Forgettyng his me s s age, and so well dyd he fare

165That whan I came bye, he gan swere and stare

166And ful bitterly began to curse

167As oone that had lo st almo st all in his por se

168For I knowe his olde gise and condicyon

169Neuer to leaue tyll all his mony bee goon

170For he hath noo mony but what he doth stell

171And that woll he plaie awaie euery dell

172I pa s s ed by, and then called vnto my mynd

173Sertayne old rekeaninges that were behind

174Bitwene Ienkine and me, whom partelie to recompẽse

175I tru st by gods grace, ere I goo hens

176This garments cape, and all other geare

177That now you see apon me here

178I haue doon oon all like vnto his

179Fo the nons, and my purpose is

180To make Ienkine byliue if I can
