60 When I desired him to come home to dinner,
He ask’d me for marks in gold:
‘’Tis dinner-time,’ quoth I; ‘My gold!’ quoth he:
‘Your meat doth burn,’ quoth I; ‘My gold!’ quoth he:
‘Will you come [home]?’ quoth I; ‘My gold!’ quoth he,
65 ‘Where is the thousand marks I gave thee, villain?’
‘The pig,’ quoth I, ‘is burn’d;’ ‘My gold!’ quoth he:
‘My mistress, sir,’ quoth I; ‘Hang up thy mistress!
[I know not thy mistress; out on thy mistress]!’
