M. Mery. Will ye doe no harme in deede, shall I trust your worde? 10
R. Royster. By Roister Doisters fayth I will speake but in borde.
Sim Sure. Let us hearken them, somwhat there is I feare it.
R. Royster. I will speake out aloude, I care not who heare it:
Sirs, see that my harnesse, my tergat, and my shield,
Be made as bright now, as when I was last in fielde, 15
As white as I shoulde to warre againe to morrowe:
For sicke shall I be, but I worke some folke sorow.
Therfore see that all shine as bright as sainct George,
Or as doth a key newly come from the Smiths forge.
