00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:09,519
Cornish Christmas play by William Sandy's Enter
the Turkish Knight. Open your doors and

2
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:13,839
let me in. I hope your
favors. I shall win, whether I

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,600
rise or whether I fall. I'll
do my best to please you all.

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,879
Saint George is here and swears he
will come in. And if he does,

5
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:28,760
I know he'll pierce my skin.
If you will not believe what I

6
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:36,359
do say, Let Father Christmas come
in. Clear the way retires, Enter

7
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,560
Father Christmas. Here come I Old
Father Christmas. Welcome or welcome not?

8
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,119
I hope Old Father Christmas will never
be forgot. I am not come here

9
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,119
to laugh or to jeer, but
for a pocketful of money and a skinful

10
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,600
of beer. If you will not
believe what I do say, come in,

11
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,359
King of Egypt, clear the way, Enter the King of Egypt.

12
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,560
Here I the King of Egypt.
Boldly do appear, Saint George. Saint

13
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,040
George, walk in my only son
and heir. Walk in my son,

14
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:17,560
Saint George, and boldly act thy
part that all the people here may see

15
00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:26,319
thy wondrous art. Enter Saint George. All right, here come I Saint

16
00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:32,640
George from Britain. Did I spring? I'll fight the dragon bold my wonders

17
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,840
to begin. I'll clip his wings. He shall not fly. I'll cut

18
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:45,439
him down, or else I die. Enter the dragon. Whoo's he that

19
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:52,400
seeks the dragon's blood and calls so
angry and so loud, that English dog?

20
00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:57,599
Will he before me stand? I'll
cut him down with my courageous hand,

21
00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:02,519
with my long tea than scurvy jaw
of such I'd break up half a

22
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,960
score and stay my stomach till i'd
more. Come on, then, you

23
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:15,120
big beast, Saint George and the
dragon fight. Ah, good lord,

24
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:35,680
your breath stinks. Ah hot,
hot hot, my mustache, my eyebrows.

25
00:02:36,319 --> 00:03:02,879
Actually that looks rather fetching. Right
the latter is killed? Ahem?

26
00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:07,960
Is there a doctor to be found
already near at hand to cure a deep

27
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:16,240
and deadly wound? To make the
champion stand? Enter? Doctor? Oh,

28
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:20,800
yes, there's a doctor to be
found already near at hand, to

29
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:24,120
cure a deep and deadly wound and
make the champion stand? What can you

30
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:30,800
cure? All sorts of diseases?
Whatever you please? Is the physic,

31
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,680
the palsy and the gout. If
the devil's in, I'll blow him out.

32
00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:39,159
What is your fee? Fifteen pounds
it is my fee, the money

33
00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:44,479
to lay down. But as to
such a rogue as they are, cure

34
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:50,039
for ten pound. I carry a
little bottle of ali. Campaign here jack,

35
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,759
take a little of my flip flop, pour it down thy tip top,

36
00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:00,840
Rise up and fight again. The
doctor performs his cure. The fight

37
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,520
is renewed, and the dragon again
is killed. Here am i Saint George,

38
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:12,560
that worthy champion, bold, and
with my sword and spear I won

39
00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:17,519
three crowns of gold. I fought
the fiery dragon and brought him to the

40
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:24,439
slaughter. By that I won fair
Sabra, the King of Egypt's daughter.

41
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,000
Where is the man that now will
me defy? I'll cut his gibblets full

42
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,800
of holes and make his buttons fly. The Turkish Knight advances. Here,

43
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,920
come I the Turkish Knight, come
from the Turkish land to fight. I'll

44
00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:45,639
fight Saint George, who is my
foe. I'll make him yield before I

45
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,160
go. He brags to such a
high degree he think there's none can do

46
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,439
the like of he. Where is
the Turk that will before me stand?

47
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,600
I'll cut him down with my courageous
hand. The fight. The knight is

48
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:08,879
overcome and falls on one knee.
Oh, pardon me, Saint George,

49
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:13,199
pardon of the I crave, Oh, pardon me this knight, and I

50
00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:19,199
will be thy slave. No pardon
shalt thou have while I have foot to

51
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:25,040
stand. So rise THEE up again
and fight out. Sword in hand.

52
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,959
They fight again, and the Knight
is killed. Father Christmas calls for the

53
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,480
doctor, with whom the same dialog
occurs as before, and the cure is

54
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:46,720
performed. Enter the Giant Turpin.
Here come I, the giant bold Turpin

55
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:53,120
is my name, And all the
nations round do tremble at my fame.

56
00:05:54,560 --> 00:06:00,040
Where'er I go, they tremble at
my sight. No lord or champion along

57
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:06,360
with me would fight. Here's one
that dares to look THEE in the face,

58
00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:15,839
and soon will send THEE to another
place. Take that that at you,

59
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:19,480
sir, Take that you will have
to be quicker than that, sir.

60
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:27,920
Haha. Not the face, not
the face. Oh no out oh

61
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:46,079
yeah, a palpable hit. Oh
gotcha, oh wow, oh oh oh

62
00:06:48,160 --> 00:07:00,839
oh oh, And the giant is
killed. Medical aid is called in as

63
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:05,519
before, and the cure performed by
the doctor, who, then, according

64
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:11,360
to the stage direction, is given
a basin of girdy grout and a kick

65
00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:15,199
and driven out. Now, ladies
and gentlemen, your sport is most ended,

66
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,800
So prepare for the hat, which
is highly commended. The hat it

67
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:25,360
would speak if it had but a
tongue. Come throw in your money and

68
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:26,639
think it no wrong
