Ranger. Be ye so? Mary, I crye you marcy.

Your maystership may say I am homely.

But syns your mynde is to have reportyd

The cause wherfore I am now resortyd, 410

Pleasyth your maystership it is so.

I come for my-selfe and suche other mo,

Rangers and kepers of certayne places,

As forestes, parkes, purlews and chasys[145]

Where we be chargyd with all maner game. 415

Smale in our profyte and great is our blame.
