New G. I had a shrewd recumbentibus, but I feel no pain.
Now. And my head is all safe and whole again.
Now, touching the matter of Mankind,
Let us have an interlection sithen ye be come hither;
It were good to have an end.
Mis. Ho, ho! a minstrel! know ye any aught?
Nought. I can pipe on a Walsingham whistle, I, Nought, Nought.
Mis. Blow apace! thou shall bring him in with a flowte.
[Titivillus roars from outside.
Titivillus. I come with my legs under me!
Mis. Ho! New Guise, Now-a-days, hark! or I go:
When our heads were together I spake of "Si didero."
New G. So! go thy way! we shall gather money unto;
Else there shall no man him see.
Now, ghostly to our purpose, worshipful sovereigns!
We intend to gather money, if it please your negligence,
For a man with a head that [is] of great omnipotence—
Now. Keep your tail! in goodness, I pray you, good brother!—
He is a worshipful man, sirs, saving your reverence!
He loveth no groats, nor pence, nor two pence;
Give us red royals if ye will see his abominable presence!
