An

please

your

reverence

,

"

said

Dennet

,

"

a

drunken

priest

came

to

visit

the

Sacristan

at

Saint

Edmund

's

--

"

"

It

does

not

please

my

reverence

,

"

answered

the

churchman

,

"

that

there

should

be

such

an

animal

as

a

drunken

priest

,

or

,

if

there

were

,

that

a

layman

should

so

speak

him

.

Be

mannerly

,

my

friend

,

and

conclude

the

holy

man

only

wrapt

in

meditation

,

which

makes

the

head

dizzy

and

foot

unsteady

,

as

if

the

stomach

were

filled

with

new

wine

--

I

have

felt

it

myself

.

"

"

Well

,

then

,

"

answered

Father

Dennet

,

"

a

holy

brother

came

to

visit

the

Sacristan

at

Saint

Edmund

's

--

a

sort

of

hedge-priest

is

the

visitor

,

and

kills

half

the

deer

that

are

stolen

in

the

forest

,

who

loves

the

tinkling

of

a

pint-pot

better

than

the

sacring-bell

,

and

deems

a

flitch

of

bacon

worth

ten

of

his

breviary

;

for

the

rest

,

a

good

fellow

and

a

merry

,

who

will

flourish

a

quarter-staff

,

draw

a

bow

,

and

dance

a

Cheshire

round

,

with

e

'

er

a

man

in

Yorkshire

.

That

last

part

of

thy

speech

,

Dennet

,

"

said

the

Minstrel

,

"

has

saved

thee

a

rib

or

twain

.

"

"

Tush

,

man

,

I

fear

him

not

,

"

said

Dennet

;

"

I

am

somewhat

old

and

stiff

,

but

when

I

fought

for

the

bell

and

ram

at

Doncaster

--

"

"

But

the

story

--

the

story

,

my

friend

,

"

again

said

the

Minstrel

.

"

Why

,

the

tale

is

but

this

--

Athelstane

of

Coningsburgh

was

buried

at

Saint

Edmund

's

.

"

That

's

a

lie

,

and

a

loud

one

,

"

said

the

Friar

,

"

for

I

saw

him

borne

to

his

own

Castle

of

Coningsburgh

.

"

"

Nay

,

then

,

e

'

en

tell

the

story

yourself

,

my

masters

,

"

said

Dennet

,

turning

sulky

at

these

repeated

contradictions

;

and

it

was

with

some

difficulty

that

the

boor

could

be

prevailed

on

,

by

the

request

of

his

comrade

and

the

Minstrel

,

to

renew

his

tale

.

--

"

These

two

sober

friars

,

"

said

he

at

length

,

"

since

this

reverend

man

will

needs

have

them

such

,

had

continued

drinking

good

ale

,

and

wine

,

and

what

not

,

for

the

best

part

for

a

summer

's

day

,

when

they

were

aroused

by

a

deep

groan

,

and

a

clanking

of

chains

,

and

the

figure

of

the

deceased

Athelstane

entered

the

apartment

,

saying

,

'

Ye

evil

shep-herds

!

--

'

"

"

It

is

false

,

"

said

the

Friar

,

hastily

,

"

he

never

spoke

a

word

.
