- MAID
- It seems to me
That one of his disciples you must be.
- PETER
- No, woman, I have never seen this man
Since the world first began.
- MAID
- You are one of his crew!
By your face I know you.
- PETER
- Woman, you speak amiss of me! It is not so!
I tell you I do not him know!
- SOLDIER
- You're the one cut Malchus' ear
When we took him in the garden.
And when we soldiers brought him here
You all forsook and spurned him.
- PETER
- I do not know him! By him that made me!
If you'll believe me when I do,
I'll swear before this company
That what I say is true!
(The cock crows)
(Horrified reaction from Peter)
From a medieval mystery play.
