Constable one
Tell his reverence your story
Constable two
Let us see if he's impressed
Constable one
You were lodging here last night
Constable two
You were the honest bishop's guest.
Constable one
And then, out of christian goodness
Constable two
When he learned about your plight
Constable one
You maintain he made a present of this silver.
Bishop
That is right.
But my friend you left so early
Surely something slipped your mind
You forgot i gave these also
Would you leave the best behind?
So, messieurs, you may release him
For this man has spoken true
I commend you for your duty
And god's blessing go with you.
