Mind you, what you are about, you are on
your Oath. If you swear falsely, I'll have
you indited for perjury! You have more
money than you know what to do with
and it is my duty every year to put
you in the best way of disposing of it.
None of your paltry tricks of the last
year to evade this tax! Don't I know
your affairs better than you do yourself.

Indeed I tell you the truth
Measter Billy, I have only got
a few tinyZeven shilling
Spangles, and some little soft
bits of One Pound peaper; I ha
do indeed now
