Volume I Part 50 (1/2)

FRIAR.

Leave thy railing and babbling of friars, Or, by Jis, I'sh lug thee by the sweet ears![176]

PARDONER.

By G.o.d, I would thou durst presume to it!--

FRIAR.

By G.o.d, a little thing might make me to do it--

PARDONER.

And I shrew thy heart, and thou spare--

FRIAR.

By G.o.d, I will not miss thee much, thou slouch; And if thou play me such another touch, I'sh knock thee on the costard, I would thou it knew--

PARDONER.

”Marry that I would see, quod blind Hew.” [177]

FRIAR.

Well, I will begin, and then let me see, Whether thou darest again interrupt me, And what thou would once to it say--

PARDONER.

Begin and prove, whether I will, yea or nay--

FRIAR.

And to go forth, whereas I left right now--

PARDONER.

Because some percase will think amiss of me--

FRIAR.
