Ralph. Fair Squire Tapstro, I a wandring Knight,
Height of the Burning Pestle in the quest
Of this fair Ladies Casket, and wrought purse,
Losing my self in this vast wilderness,
And to this Castle well by fortune brought,
Where hearing of the goodly entertain
Your Knight of holy Order of the Bell,
Gives to all Damsels, and all Errant Knights,
I thought to knock, and now am bold to enter.
Tapst. An't please you see a chamber, you are very welcome. [Exeunt.
Wife. George, I would have something done, and I cannot tell what it is.

Enter Humphrey and Merchant.
Wife. O George, here's master Humphrey again now, that lost Mistriss Luce, and Mistriss Luce's Father, master Humphrey will do some bodies arrant I warrant him.
Hum. Father, it's true in arms I ne'r shall clasp her,
For she is stoln away by your man Jasper.
