Then may we talk and tellen our fill,

And make a mock at the blustering blast:

Now say on, Diggon, whatever thou hast.

DIG. Hobbin, ah Hobbin! I curse the stound

That ever I cast to have lorn this ground:

Well-away the while I was so fond

To leave the good, that I had in hond,

In hope of better that was uncouth,

So lost the dog the flesh in his mouth.

My silly sheep (ah! silly sheep!)
