LYTELL JOHN.
Not I, master, for twenty pound redy tolde,
For there is not among us al one
That dare medle with that potter man for man.
I felt his handles not long agone,
But I had lever have ben here by the,
Therefore I knowe what he is.
Mete him when ye wil, or mete him whan ye shal,
He is as propre a man as ever you medle withal. {350}
