SECOND PROFESSOR. In every book, in every house, in every town.
ABBOT. Alas! Alas! What shall I do? What shall I do?
FIRST PROFESSOR. Go to the king and tell him all.
ABBOT. And then I'll lose my head!
SECOND PROFESSOR. Yes, I fear you'll lose your head.
FIRST PROFESSOR. I am sorry, Abbot, I wish that I might help you.
SECOND PROFESSOR. I am sorry too, friend Abbot. And I do wish the same.
ABBOT. You both have tried your best. Farewell.
(The Professors bow and go.)
Alas! Alas! Alas! Alas!
