The Abbot. What dost thou say? Hast brought the money?
The Knight (to try the Abbot). Not a penny, but—
The Abbot. What dost thou here without the money?
The Knight. To ask your kindness and patience, Sir Abbot, for a longer time.
Lord Justice. The day has come. Thou losest thy land, Sir Knight, since thou canst not pay.
The Knight. Good Lord Justice, help me against my foes! I will surely pay, but must have more time.
Lord Justice. I am sorry for thee, Sir Richard, but the law is plain. Either pay your debt or lose your land.
The Knight. Sir Abbot, I pray thee, have pity.
The Abbot. Get the land when thou canst, thou gettest no pity from me.
The Knight. By my faith, then, if I get not my land again, thou shalt pay dearly for it.
