The Offbrand Pardoner's Tale
Kuvakäsikirjoitus Teksti
- Sir, no need, I promise you; Two hours before you came here I was told. He was a friend of yours in the days of old, And suddenly, last night, the man was slain.
- Here, chaps! The three of us together now, Hold up your hands, And we will kill this traitor Death, I say!
- And you're his spy, by God! Say where he is or you shall pay for it, By God and by the Holy Sacrament!
- If it be your design to find out Death, turn up this crooked way towards that grove, I left him there today under a tree, and there you'll find him waiting.
- We draw for lots and see the way it goes; the one who draws the longest, lucky man, shall run to town as quickly as he can to fetch us some bread and wine while two remain in hiding.
- You know that you can trust me as a brother; So that we shared it out -the two of us- wouldn't you take it as a friendly act? When he comes back, get up in fun to have a wrestle; then, as you attack, I'll up and put my dagger through his back then draw your dagger too and do the same.
- Lord, to think I might have all that treasure to myself alone! Could there be anyone beneath the throne of God so happy as I then should be?
