[A country inn. Enter Christopher Sly, a drunkard, and the inn’s hostess, the owner’s wife.]

I'll feeze you, in faith.

A pair of stocks, you rogue!

You’re 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!

You will not pay for the glasses you have burst?

No, not a denier. Go by, Saint Jeronimy. Go to thy cold

bed and warm thee.

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

[Exit]

Third, or fourth, or fifth borough — I'll answer him by

law. I'll not budge an inch, boy. Let him come, and kindly.
