parson

I was taken to a High Church;

The parson's name was Mowbray,

"Which is a good name but he thinks too much of it--"

Sir Philip Warwick. — A poor parson's

son ; then a singing boy at Westminster ;

The shadow of the steeple;

The parson and the parson's wife,

The fox was well induc'd to be a parson,

And of the priest eftsoons gan to inquire,

Here the Plowman's Tale is put before the Parson's. Moreover, the three

pieces numbered 66-68 below (p. 45), are inserted at the end of the Table
