Now, therefore, if any withstand us on our lawful errand as we go to speak with our own king and lord, let him look to it.

Bear back this word to them that sent thee.

But for thee, hearken, thou bastard of an inky sheep-skin! get thee gone and tarry not; three times shall I lift up my hand, and the third time look to thyself, for then shalt thou hear the loose of our bowstrings, and after that nought else till thou hearest the devil bidding thee welcome to hell!" Our fellows shouted, but the summoner began again, yet in a quavering voice: "Ho! YE PEOPLE! what will ye gathering in arms?
Wot ye not that ye are doing or shall do great harm, loss, and hurt to the king's lieges----" He stopped; Jack Straw's hand was lowered for the second time.

He looked to his men right and left, and then turned rein and turned tail, and scuttled back to the main body at his swiftest.

Huge laughter rattled out all along our line as Jack Straw climbed back into the orchard grinning also.
Then we noted more movement in the enemy's line.
