rns? Fri. None. Pan. How do you pig together? Fri. Bare. Pan. Remember you're upon your oath, and tell me justly and bona fide how many times a day you monk it? Fri. Six. Pan. How many bouts a-nights? Fri. Ten. Catso, quoth Friar John, the poor fornicating brother is bashful, and sticks at sixteen, as if that were his stint.
