Enter a Townsman of Saint Alban’s crying ‘A miracle!’

[♦] Glou. What means this noise?

60 Fellow, what miracle dost thou proclaim?

[♦] Towns. A miracle! a miracle!

[♦] Suf. Come to the king and tell him what miracle.

Towns. Forsooth, a blind man at Saint Alban’s shrine,

Within this half-hour, hath received his sight;

65 A man that ne’er saw in his life before.

King. Now, God be praised, that to believing souls

[♦] Gives light in darkness, comfort in despair!
