man in this rebellion�察�And I the foremost that must die for it。

liv'dst a man�察�thou diest no less。
LINCOLN。 Doll Williamson�察�thine eyes shall witness it。 Then to all
you that come to view mine end I must confess�察�I had no ill intent�察�But
against such as wronged us over much�此�And now I can perceive it was not
fit That private men should carve out their redress�察�Which way they list�察�
no�察�learn it now by me�察�Obedience is the best in each degree�此�And asking
mercy meekly of my king�察 �I patiently submit me to the law�察 �But God
forgive them that were cause of it� �And�察�as a Christian�察�truly from my heart
I likewise crave they would forgive me too ��As freely as I do forgive their
wrong�� That others by example of the same Henceforth be warned to
attempt the like Gainst any alien that repaireth hither。 Fare ye well�察�all�此�the
next time that we meet�察�I trust in heaven we shall each other greet。

comfort you shall bring To my poor heart�察�to die before my husband。

CLOWN。 Sir�察�and I have a suit for you too。
SHERIFF。 What is it�拭�
CLOWN。 That�察 �as you have hanged Lincoln first�察 �and will hang her
next�察�so you will not hang me at all。
SHERIFF。 Nay�察�you set ope' the Counter gates�察�and you must hang for
the folly。
CLOWN。 Well�察�then�察�so much for it� �
DOLL。 Sir�察�your free bounty much contents my mind。 Commend me
to that good shrieve Master More�察�And tell him�察 �had't not been for his
persuasion�察 �John Lincoln had not hung here as he does�此 �We would first
have locked us up in Leadenhall�察�And there been burnt to ashes with the
roof。
SHERIFF。 Woman�察 �what Master More did was a subject's duty�察�And
hath so pleased our gracious lord the king�察�That he is hence removed to
higher place�察�And made of council to his majesty。
DOLL。 Well is he worthy of it�察 �by my troth�察�An honest�察 �wise�察 �well
spoken gentleman�察�Yet would I praise his honesty much more�察�If he had
kept his word�察�and saved our lives�此�But let that pass�察�men are but men�察�and
so Words are but words�察 �and pays not what men owe。 You�察 �husband�察�
since perhaps the world may say That through my means thou comest thus
to thy end�察�Here I begin this cup of death to thee�察�Because thou shalt be
sure to taste no worse Than I have taken that must go before thee。 What
though I be a woman�拭�that's no matter�察�I do owe God a death�察�and I must
pay him。 Husband�察�give me thy hand�察�be not dismayed�察�This chair being
chaired�察�then all our debt is paid。 Only two little babes we leave behind us�察�
And all I can bequeath them at this time Is but the love of some good
honest friend�察�To bring them up in charitable sort�此�What�察�masters� �he goes

French nor Dutch shall get a kiss of me�察�And when that I am dead�察�for me
yet say�察�I died in scorn to be a stranger's prey。

Room for the Earl of Surrey�察�room there�察�room��'。�А�
��Enter Surrey。�А�
SURREY。 Save the man's life�察�if it be possible。
SHERIFF。 It is too late�察�my lord�察�he's dead already。
SURREY。 I tell ye�察�Master Sheriff�察�you are too forward�察�To make such
haste with men unto their death�察�I think your pains will merit little thanks�察�
Since that his highness is so merciful As not to spill the blood of any
subject。
SHERIFF。 My noble lord�察 �would we so much had known� �The
Councils' warrant hastened our dispatch�察 �It had not else been done so
suddenly。
SURREY。 Sir Thomas More humbly upon his knee Did beg the lives
of all�察�since on his word They did so gently yield�此�the king hath granted it�察�
And made him Lord High Chancellor of England。 According as he
worthily deserves。 Since Lincoln's life cannot be had again�察�Then for the
rest�察 �from my dread sovereign's lips�察 �I here pronounce free pardon for
them all。
ALL。 God save the king�察 �God save the king� �My good Lord
Chancellor�察�and the Earl of Surrey� �

nurse Oft doth the wayward infant�察�then to leave you To the sharp rod of
justice�察�so to draw you To shun such lewd assemblies as beget Unlawful
riots and such traitorous acts�察�That�察�striking with the hand of private hate�察�
Maim your dear country with a public wound�此 �Oh God�察 �that Mercy�察�
