I made no more ado, but avoided the thrust,

And to my legs began for to trust;

And fell a laughing to myself, when I was once gone:

It is wisdom (quoth I), by the mass, to save one.

Then into this place I intended to trudge,

Thinking to meet Sisamnes the judge.

Behold, where he cometh, I will him meet;

And like a gentleman I mean him to greet.

Enter Sisamnes.

Sisamnes.
