R. Royster. Nay thou mayst not strike at me againe in no wise. 25

M. Mery. I can not in fight make to you suche warrantise:

But as for your foes here let them the bargaine bie.[569]

R. Royster. Nay as for they, shall every mothers childe die.

And in this my fume a little thing might make me,

To beate downe house and all, and else the devill take me. 30

M. Mery. If I were as ye be, by gogs deare mother,

I woulde not leave one stone upon an other.

Though she woulde redeeme it with twentie thousand poundes.

R. Royster. It shall be even so, by his lily woundes.
