which the monastery at Sherborne, in
common with other monasteries, had
fallen at that time. The monks are
shown drinking and feasting and hav.
ing a high old time generally. Upon
this scene enters Bishop Wulfsy III.
and reads an ecclesiastical riot act to
them, denounclng them as "graceless
brood Of yipers," reminding them that
life Is short and hell is near at
hand" and soaring them into a peni.
tential mood, in which they accept the
rule of ST. Benedict.
Time takes another jump, and VIII.

and wrathful, stalks upon the scene
and frightens the monks worse than
Wulfsy did.

find William the Norman hath a swift
hand to seize and a strong hand to
hold"
Then he goes on to declare that
Sherborne is no longer see, the
church no longer cathedral and the
town no longer the chief city OF Wes'
sex. He transfers the bishopric to
Sarum, and departs, attended by his
knights on horseback and followed by
the bishop, whom he compels TO trudge
after him afoot TO his new billet.
The next episode shows Roger OF
Caen, the chief minister OF Henry l.,
laying the foundations Of the castle
whose ruins supplied the stage on
which the folk play was performed.
The episode which followed the sew
enth, presents a striking contrast to
those which precede It and is carried
out in the Dorset dialect. II portrays a
dispute between the parishoners and
the monks, which starts In contro'
versy concerning the erection Of font
In the parish church and ends with
the firing of the abbey by the parish
priest. During the progress OF this
scene Robin Hood, Maid Marian, Friar
Tuck, Little John and their retinue
were introduced and gave a Morris
dance. II was danced to the original
tune, too.
