`` But , prithee , how shall I do ? Prithee , good Master Richard , help me with your good counsel . If I come not safe to Holywood , I am undone . '' `` Nay , '' said Dick , dismounting , `` I will give more than counsel . Take my horse , and I will run awhile , and when I am weary we shall change again , that so , riding and running , both may go the speedier . '' So the change was made , and they went forward as briskly as they durst on the uneven causeway , Dick with his hand upon the other 's knee . `` How call ye your name ? '' asked Dick . `` Call me John Matcham , '' replied the lad . `` And what make ye to Holywood ? '' Dick continued . `` I seek sanctuary from a man that would oppress me , '' was the answer . `` The good Abbot of Holywood is a strong pillar to the weak . '' `` And how came ye with Sir Daniel , Master Matcham ? '' pursued Dick . `` Nay , '' cried the other , `` by the abuse of force ! He hath taken me by violence from my own place ; dressed me in these weeds ; ridden with me till my heart was sick ; gibed me till I could ` a ' wept ; and when certain of my friends pursued , thinking to have me back , claps me in the rear to stand their shot ! I was even grazed in the right foot , and walk but lamely . Nay , there shall come a day between us ; he shall smart for all ! '' `` Would ye shoot at the moon with a hand-gun ? ''
