2. Where was his maister, when the deed was done?
3. No man can tell, for he is missing to, Some men suspect that he hath done the fact, And that for feare the man is fled away; Others, that knew his honest harmlesse life, Feare that himselfe is likewise made away. 4. Then let commaundement every where be given, That sinkes and gutters, privies, crevises, And every place where blood may be conceald, Be throughly searcht, swept, washt, and neerely sought, To see if we can finde the murther out. And least that _Beech_ be throwne into the _Thames_, Let charge be given unto the watermen That, if they see the body of a man, Floting in any place about the _Thames_, That straight they bring it unto _Lambert Hill_, Where _Beech_ did dwell when he did live in health. 1 _Neigh_. Ile see this charge performd immediatly. 4. Now let us go to Maister _Beeches_ shop, [_Exit_. To see if that the boy can give us light, Of those suspitions which this cause doth yeeld. 2. This is the house; call Maister _Loney_ forth. 3. Hoe, Maister _Loney_! doth the boy yet live? |
