The Shoomaker. Chap. 10.

WHat Cobbelero, vvhere are you? What commands your signiory? Set a patch on my shoo.

It shall cost you then a peny.

Shoomaker, shew me some good two soled or three soled shooes, some pumps or pantofles of Spanish leather. Let me see some bootes.

Sit downe on this forme. Of what length is your foote?

If you will haue a shoo verie easie for your foote, take this same. Let me assaie it.

Giue me a shoing horne.

It will last you but too long.

Theres no so faire shoo, but comes to be a slipper.

How these? Halfe a crowne, I will not rebate a mite.

Now tell me in good sooth, Shoomaker, did it neuer chance vnto you after you had so well shooed any one, as at this present you haue done me, that he is gone away vvithout paying, or taking his leaue otherwise.

No truly.

And if it should chance now, vvhat would you do?

By God I would runne after. Do you speake in good earnest. In faith I speake it, and besides would thinke to do it.

Go to then, I will trie once, see here is abase: follow me as quickly as

you loue your shooes.

Hold the theefe. Stop the theefe.

Staie me not maisters, I run for a wager, for a bottle of vvine.

He is escaped from the Shoomaker, but he is not escaped from the theefe.

Why so? He shall carrie the theefe with him euerie vvhere, where he shall go.

Tis all one, if I can ouertake him, I vvill lay fellony to his charge.
