Else the Puck a liar call.

So, good night unto you all.

Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

'LL pheese you, in faith.

Host. A pair of stocks, you rogue 1 Sly. Y'are a baggage; the Slys are no rogues. Look in the chronicles, we came in with Richard Conqueror. Therefore, paucas pallabras; let the world slide. Sessa! Host. You will not pay for the glasses you have burst? Sly. No, not a denier; go by, Signior1 Jeronimy. Humph! go to thy cold bed, and warm thee.

Host. I know my remedy, I must go fetch the headborough.

[Exit. Sly. Third, or fourth, or fifth borough, I'll answer him by law. I'll not budge an inch, boy; let him come, and kindly.
