not_o know_v what_o to_o say_v at_o length_n a_o young_a man_n who_o have_v never_o serve_v any_o office_n say_v gentleman_n if_o i_o may_v speak_v without_o offence_n and_o under_o correction_n of_o

may_v talk_v as_o wise_o as_o some_o of_o we_o then_o say_v the_o young_a man_n i_o be_o of_o the_o mind_n that_o this_o ape_n carrier_n be_v a_o insolent_a saucy_a knave_n who_o design_n to_o make_v our_o town_n ridiculous_a to_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n for_o be_v it_o ever_o know_v that_o a_o fellow_n shall_v be_v so_o audacious_a to_o send_v a_o warrant_n without_o either_o name_n or_o date_n to_o a_o mayor_n of_o a_o town_n who_o be_v the_o queen_n lieutenant_n and_o that_o he_o and_o his_o brethren_n their_o wife_n and_o child_n shall_v be_v all_o command_v to_o appear_v before_o a_o

come_v into_o our_o company_n pray_v friend_n depart_v i_o think_v you_o long_o to_o have_v we_o all_o hang_v the_o young_a man_n be_v put_v out_o of_o door_n well_o now_o brethren_n say_v the_o mayor_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o this_o troublesome_a business_n marry_o quoth_v another_o old_a senior_n we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o feather_n in_o his_o cap_n and_o the_o badge_n he_o wear_v that_o he_o be_v the_o queen_n man_n and_o who_o know_v what_o power_n a_o knave_n may_v have_v at_o court_n to_o do_v poor_a man_n in_o the_o country_n a_o injury_n therefore_o let_v we_o even_o go_v and_o see_v the_o ape_n it_o be_v but_o two_o penny_n a_o piece_n and_o no_o doubt_n the_o queen_n will_v take_v it_o well_o if_o it_o come_v to_o her_o ear_n and_o think_v that_o we_o be_v very_o civil_a people_n to_o show_v so_o much_o duty_n to_o her_o ape_n what_o may_v she_o imagine_v we_o will_v do_v to_o her_o bear_n if_o they_o shall_v come_v hither_o beside_o it_o be_v above_o two_o
