‘Hath any one done to thee wronge,
Any of thy fellowes here?
Or is any of thy good friends dead,
What makes thee shed such teares?
XI
‘Or if it be my head-cookes-man
Griev’d againe[365] he shall be,
Nor noe man within my house
Shall doe wrong unto thee.’—
XII
‘But it is not your head-cookes-man,
Nor none of his degree;
But or tomorrow, ere it be noone
You are deemèd[366] to die.
XIII
‘And of that thanke your head-steward,
And, after, your ladie fair.’—
‘If it be true, my little foot-page,
Of my land I’ll make thee heir.’—
XIV
‘If it be not true, my deare master,
God let me never thye[367].’—
‘If it be not true, thou little foot-page,
A dead corse shalt thou be.’
