If ye to me consent to amend this heavy chance,
I will enjoin him here some open kind of penance:
Of this condition—where ye know my fee is twenty pence
For the bloodshed, I am agreed with you here to dispense;
Ye shall go quit, so that ye grant the matter now to run,
To end with mirth among us all, even as it was begun.
Chat. Say yea, Master Vicar, and he shall sure confess to be your debtor,
And all we that be here present will love you much the better.
Doctor Rat. My part is the worst; but since you all hereon agree,
Go even to, Master Baily, let it be so for me.
