Or you wold kepe him out? I pray you answere me.
D. Rat. Mary, kepe him out, and a good cause why!
But I am no theefe, sir, but an honest learned clarke. 15
Bayly. Yea, but who knoweth that, when he meets you in the darke?
I am sure your learning shines not out at your nose!
Was it any marvaile though the poore woman arose
And start up, being afraide of that was in hir purse?
Me thinke you may be glad that you[r] lucke was no worse. 20
D. Rat. Is not this evill ynough, I pray you, as you thinke?
