When he had s••
done, she was more fierce: but at length he conti∣nuing his playing, shee daunced for anger, and in the ende shée stroke the Bagpipe out of his hand. But he toke it againe, and played, wherwith shee being chafed, ranne out of the doores, saying, that shée would not endure his wickednesse and dron∣kennesse. The next day shée began hir scolding a freshe, but hir husband played as he was wonte. Then the woman declared that shée was ouer∣come, and lefte of hir curssing, promising hir hus∣band to become most gentle vnto him, so that he would lay away his Bagpipe.
