TYRANNY. Is there, Mast. Parson, in your parish no schismatics? CACON. Yai, mara, is ther a vara busybody, Whe will jest with me and call me fule and noddy, And sets his lads te spout Latin ayenst me, But ay spose then with _Deparfundis Clam aui_: And oftentimes he wil reason with me of the Sacarment, And say he can prove bay the New Testament That Chraist's body is in heaven placed; But ays not believe him, ay woll not be awt-faced. He says besayd that the Pope is Antichraist, Fugered of John bay the seven-headed beast, And all awre religion is but mon's invention, And with God's ward is at utter dissension; And a plaguy deal mare of sayk layk talk, That ay dar not far may narse bay his yate walk, But ay wawd he wer brunt, that ay mawght be whaiet.[45] TYRANNY. He must have a cooler; his tongue runs at riot. AVARICE. What is his name, Sir John, canst thou tell us? CACON. Yai, sir, that ay ken: he is cleped Phailelegoos. |
