WAlking abroad not long agoe, it was my chaunce to spye: A Coblers wife with crabbed lookes, how she her strength did trye. A Cudgell great she had in hand, both round and tough withall: The which about her husbands pate she broke in peeces small. So that the man to crye began, with voice both sharpe and shrill But banging him round about, With courage strong and stout, have with you my harts trill lill His sides she made both black and blew, his head and nose did bleede: And round about his cobling stoole, she made him trot with speed. Upon his knees full oft he fell, her pardon for to pray: But [?] at w[?]k without remorce, [?] [?] To save his [?], [?] for feare she would him kill: Where banging him round about, With courage strong and stout, she cryed my hartes trill lill. Now fie for shame what doo you meane, your husband thus to bang: Tis better beare some blowes she saide, then [?]e [?] bang[?] A Jewell he did break and spoyle, which I esteemed deere: That I will not forgive the same, no not this twenty yeere, You [?]eed not blame though I should lame, the olde knave for his ill: Then banging him round about, With courage strong and stout, she cried my harts trill lill. [?] cleeve me quoth the Cobler then, this thing is nothing so: For eating of an apple Pye, she hath wrought me this woe. And tasting of a Custard small, which she in store did keepe: She hath misusde me as you see, and made me thus to weepe. And in despight she takes delight, to plague me at her will: And ever she crieth when on me she flieth, have with you my harts trill lill. Gwyp with a murrain sir she saide, must your olde choppes be fed: With Custards and with apple pyes, a rope come st[r]etch your head. Ile teach you take the Rye brown loafe, and know the Essex cheese: I [?] for your rotten teeth, then any one of these. [?]
Good people quoth the Cobler then, I pray you take some paine: To take me from my angry wife, or els I shall be slaine. The proudest scab in place quoth she, come doo it if he dare: And he shall beare a broken pate, from hence by Jisse I sweare. With that againe she goes amaine to woork on him her will: And ever she cryeth as on him she flyeth have with y[o]u my harts trill lill. Now Cobler quoth this cruell queane tell me and doo not lye How thou doth like the [?]ting of, my [?]nny apple pye. O wife saide he thee woorst to me, that ever I did taste: I will beware while I doo live, how I doo make such waste. [?] [?] to course him [?] And ever she crieth as on him she flyeth, have with you my harts trill lill. And though quoth she indifferent well, thy carkasse I did [?]umme: Yet from thy carnion greedy guts, I'le fetch out every crumme. With that she did a feather take, and in his [t]hroat it thrust: Then up he [?] the Apple pye, and laid it in the dust. The Dog [?]th flee shall eate it free, ere thy guts shall fill, And ever she cried as on him she flyed, have with you my harts trill lill. [?]e heere the spitefull nature plaine, wherwith she was possest: For never was there any man, like to the Cobler drest. Who made an oath while he did live, such wisdome to applye: He would take heed how he did eate, or touch an apple pye. Least with his wife he fell at strife, and felt her froward will: Who evermore cryeth when on him she flieth have with you my harts trill lill.
