The honourable historie of Frier Bacon.
377Shewes all his glories for to court your selfe.
384I warrant you the meanest of vs both,
385Shall haue a mate to leade vs from the Church:
386But Thomas whats the newes? what in a dumpe.
387Giue me your hand, we are neere a pedlers shop,
391All this while Lacie whispers Margret in the eare.
394Lacie. Faith louely girle, I am of Beckles by,

405Lacie. Women are often weake in memorie.
407Twere little manners to refuse his gift,
408And yet I hope he sends it not for loue:
409For we haue little leisure to debate of that.
