"Yea, that shall I do, and make your grace merry;

"And first, when thou seest me here in this You thinke I'm the Abbot of Canterbury; stead,

With my crown of golde so fair on my head,
Among all my liege-men so noble of birth,
Tell me to one penny what I am worth."

"For thirty pence our Saviour was sold

Among the false Jewes, as I have bin told :
And twenty-nine is the worth of thee,

But I'm his poor shepheard, as plain you may see,
That am come to beg pardon for him and for mee."

The king he laughed, and swore by the masse,
"Ile make thee lord abbot this day in his place!"
"Now naye, my liege, be not in such speede,
For alacke I can neither write, ne reade."

For I thinke, thou art one penny worser than "Four nobles a week, then, I will give thee, hee."

The king he laughed, and swore by St. Bittel, "I did not think I had been worth so littel!

For this merry jest thou hast showne unto mee:
And tell the old abbot, when thou comest home,
Thou hast brought him a pardon from good King
John."
