That I, who can absolve both high and low
When soul from body is about to go,
Should chance to fall in with your company!

Since he’s the one who’s most wrapped up in sin.
Step forward, Mister Host—your offering first,
And you can kiss the relics, every one!
All for a penny! Out now with your purse!”
