FRIAR

[From his robe and cowl, which the Shipman holds, extracts a rabbit’s foot and touches up Alisoun’s face, while the Manciple helps her on with a scarlet-lined mantle.]

Sweet love, how liketh you

This cloak I stole?

ALISOUN

’Twill serve.

FRIAR

[Bowing.]

Your valet is

Your abject Ethiop slave.
