Epig. 23. Pedro, and Roderigo, The one Franciscan, the other a Dominican Frier.
Pedro , and Roderigo traveling,Came to the brink of a Religious spring,
But Pedro fearing for to wet his feet,
Prayes Roderigo, if he think it meet,
Since he is bare-foot, on his back to carry
Him over, and save charges of a Ferry,
Roderigo's willing, takes him on his backe,
And being in the mid'st, him thus bespake,
Tell me good Brother, have you any Cash;
Poore Pedro fearing that he would him wash,
Replies I have, and mean to pay thee too,
(Not daring to return him answer, no;)
Which Roderigo hearing lets him fall
Ducking him over head, and ears, and all,
Saying, You know that by my order I,
Must beare no money, therefore, there e'ne lie.
