Scene 29
“I remember a fine poem of Master Brown’s, the respected ass, which recounts how a cock in the flower of his youth received a knock on the leg from a priest’s son, and how the cock succeeded in making the priest lose his living in consequence ; but this cock was not nearly such a clever man as your father. And now I beg you, my dear sir, do let me hear you sing, that I may see whether you have inherited your father’s marvellous voice.” Said Dame Partlet
