Fourpence you forfeit unto these gentlemen.
Next, if here you do intend to ring,
With hat or spur do not touch a string;
For if you do, your forfeit is for that
Just fourpence down to pay, or lose your hat.
If you a bell turn over, without delay
Fourpence unto the ringers you must pay;
Or, if you strike, miscall, or do abuse,
You must pay fourpence for the ringers’ use.
For every oath here sworn, ere you go hence,
