Therefore hap and be happy,[222] hap that hap may,
I will put it in hazard, I[’ll] give it assay.
All hail, Master Reward and righteous Justice:
I beseech you let me be recompensed too, according to my service;
For why all this long time I have lived in hope.
Reward. Then for thy reward, then, here is a rope.
Haphazard. Nay, soft, my masters: by Saint Thomas of Trunions,
I am not disposed to buy of your onions.
A rope? (quoth you) away with that showing!
It would grieve a man having two ploughs going.
