[Aside.

Father Grim, what say they of this Damon abroad?

Grim. All men are sorry for him, so help me God.

They say a false knave ’cused him to the king wrongfully;

And he is gone, and should be here to-morrow to die,

Or else his fellow, which is in prison, his room shall supply.

Chill not be his half for vorty shillings, I tell you plain,

I think Damon be too wise to return again.

Will. Will no man speak for them in this woful case?

Grim. No, chill warrant you, one Master Stippus is in place,
