But, since I had them wholly in my hand, And that they had me given all their land, Why should I takë keep 1818 them for to please, But 1819 it were for my profit, or mine ease? I set them so a-workë, by my fay, That many a night they sangë, well-away! The bacon was not fetched for them, I trow, That some men have in Essex at Dunmow. 1820 I govern’d them so well after my law, That each of them full blissful was and fawe 1821 To bringë me gay thingës from the fair. They were full glad when that I spake them fair, For, God it wot, I chid them spiteously.
