PROLOGUE IT

            Scene I IT

Enter Christopher Sly and the Hostess.

     SLY

I’ll feeze you, in faith.

     HOST ESS

A pair of stocks, you rogue.

     SLY

Y’are a baggage, the Slys are no rogues. Look in the Chronicles, we came
in with Richard Conqueror. Therefore paucas pallabris, let the world slide.
Sessa! [5]

     HOST ESS

You will not pay for the glasses you have burst?

     SLY

No, not a denier. Go by, Saint Jeronimy, go to thy cold bed and warm thee.

     HOST ESS

I know my remedy, I must go fetch the thirdborough. [10]

                                                          [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.

                                                                                     Falls asleep.

                Wind horns. Enter a Lord from hunting, with his Train.

LORD

 Huntsman, I charge thee, tender well my hounds.
