The trustiest treasure in earth as we see Is man wife and children in one to agree, Then friendly, and kindly, let measure be mixed, With reason, in season, where friendship is fixed. VEry well sir, very well sir, it shallbe done, As fast as ever I can prepare, Who dips with the Devil, he had need have a long spoon. Or else full small will be his fare: Yet a proper Gentleman I am of truth Yea that may ye see by my long side gown. Yea but what am I, a Scholar, or a schoolmaster, or else some youth. A Lawyer, a student or else a country cloune A broom-man, a Basket maker, or a Baker of Pies, A flesh or a Fishmonger, or a sour of lies: A Louse or a louser, a Leek or a Lark: A Dreamer a Drommell, a fire or a spark; A Caitiff, a Cuthroat, a creeper in corners, A harebrain, a hangman, or a grafter of horners: By the Gods, I know not how best to devise, My name or my property, well to disguise: A Merchant, a May pool, a man or a mackerel: A Crab or a Crevice, a Crane or a cockerel: Most of all these my nature doth enjoy, Sometime I advance them, sometime I destroy, A maid or a mussel Boat, a wife or a wild duck, As bold as blind bayard, as wise as a wood cock. As fine as fivepence, as proud as a Peacock, As stout as a Stockfish, as meek as a mecock, As big as a beggar, as fat as a fool, As true as a Tinker, as rich as an Owl, With heigh trick, how troll, trey trip, and trey trace, troll hazard in a vengeance I beshrew his knaves face For trow, and troll hazard, keep such a range That poor haphazard, was never so strange, But yet Haphazard, be of good cheer, Go play and repast thee man, be merry to year: Though victual be dainty and hard for to get. Yet perhaps a number will die of the sweat, Though it be in hazard, yet happily I may, Though money be lacking, yet one day go gay. When Maud, with a pestilence, what makest thou no haste? Of Baybery incense belike thou wouldest taste, By the Gods I have stayed a full great while, My lord he is near hand by this at the Church style, and all for Maud mumble turd, that mampodding madge By the Gods if she hie not, i'll give her my badge. What drake nosed drivel, begin you to flout. Zle frie you in a fagot sticke, by cocke goodman loute You boaster you bragger, you brawling knave: Zle pay thee thy fortypence, thou brawling slave: My lady's great business belike is at end, When you goodman dawcocke, lust for to wend, You, codshead you crackrope, you chattering pie, Have with ye, have at ye, your manhood to try. What hold your hands masters, what? fie for shame fie, What culling? What lulling? What stur have we here? What tugging? What lugging? What pugging by the ear, What part and be friends, and end all this strife,
