MOONEN

Well, see that ye be not slow

To come when I call, else will my wrath be great.

Emma besought Moonen so hardly that she might hear the play that he thereto consented, though sorely against his will as ye have heard. And the play began thus;

MASKEROON

Brr! hierio! I, Maskeroon, Lucifer’s advocate,

Make my appeal before the assize

Of Him called of men Most High and All Wise,

Because He showeth to the vile human race

More of His pity and of His grace
