Pancho. Silence!

P. Crespo. (reads.) “I hereby order and command,

That the Egyptian and Chaldean strangers,

Known by the name of gipsies, shall henceforth

Be banished from our realm, as vagabonds

And beggars; and if after seventy days

Any be found within our kingdom’s bounds,

They shall receive a hundred lashes each;

The second time, shall have their ears cut off;

The third, be slaves for life to him who takes them;
