Thou didst not arrive on time! We see thy loyalty as thin as a beggar’s cloak. Thinkest thou that our time is to be wasted upon thy convenience? Thou shalt learn the cost of thy folly, for our mercy is not found in the stocks! Scurvy knave! Thou art a cumberworld, taking up space and rendering no service. We should have thy ears cropped for this negligence! Pack thy baggage and begone! Thou lurdane! Hath thou no fear of the hangman? Thy sloth hath dared to test our patience this day! By God’s light, if thou art not gone from our sight in an instant, we shall have thee head upon a spike!
