When, Maud, with a pestilence! what, mak’st thou no haste?

Of barberry[171] incense belike thou wouldest taste!

By the gods, I have stayed a full great while:

My lord he is near at hand by this at the church-stile,

And all for Maud mumble-turd, that mangpodding madge,

By the gods, if she hie not, I’ll give her my badge.

[Enter Mansipula.]

Mansipula. What, drake-nosed drivel, begin you to flont?

I’ll fry you in a faggot-stick, by Cock, goodman lout.

You boaster, you bragger, you brawling knave,
