Ha ! Clipsby , are ye there , old rat ? Y ' are a man I could lose with a good heart ; ye shall go in front of all , with a bull 's eye painted on your jack , to be the better butt for archery ; sirrah , ye shall show me the way . '' `` I will show you any way , Sir Daniel , but the way to change sides , '' returned Clipsby , sturdily . Sir Daniel laughed a guffaw . `` Why , well said ! '' he cried . `` Hast a shrewd tongue in thy mouth , go to ! I will forgive you for that merry word . Selden , see them fed , both man and brute . '' The knight re-entered the inn . `` Now , friend Dick , '' he said , `` fall to . Here is good ale and bacon . Eat , while that I read . '' Sir Daniel opened the packet , and as he read his brow darkened . When he had done he sat a little , musing . Then he looked sharply at his ward . `` Dick , '' said he , `` Y ' have seen this penny rhyme ? '' The lad replied in the affirmative . `` It bears your father 's name , '' continued the knight ; `` and our poor shrew of a parson is , by some mad soul , accused of slaying him . ''
`` He did most eagerly deny it , '' answered XXXXX .
