THE UNCLE

Foul fiend, I will let you of that.

Here in my breviary there stand

Eight or ten lines writ in a fair nand

Which will make you grin all otherwise.

MOONEN

Ah! ah! my fell of bristles doth rise

At the words he readeth; I know nor what to do nor how.

By Modicack, if she should scape me now

I shall be whipped with burning lash!
