Baily. Call me the knave hither, he shall sure kiss the stocks.

I shall teach him a lesson for filching hens or cocks.

Doctor Rat. I marvel, Master Baily, so bleared be your eyes!

An egg is not so full of meat, as she is full of lies:

When she hath played this prank, to excuse all this gear,

She layeth the fault on such a one as I know was not there.

Chat. Was he not there? look on his pate; that shall be his witness.

Doctor Rat. I would my head were half so whole, I would seek no redress.

Baily. God bless you, Gammer Gurton.

Gammer. God 'eild[295] ye, master mine.
