Oh thundering Gods that threaten ire, and Plague for each offence: yourselves I deem would counsel crave, in this so fit pretence: And eke your nimble stretched arms, with great rewards would she, To purchase fairy Virginia, so dear a wight to me: And friend, I swear by Iubiter, and eke by Juno's seat: And eke by all the mysteries, where on thou canst entreat: Thou shalt possess and have, I will thee grant and give, The greatest part of all my Realm, for aye thee to relieve. Well then, this is my counsel, thus standard the case, Perhaps such a fetch, as may please your grace: There is no more ways, but hap or hap not, Either hap, or else hapless, to knit up the knot: And if you will hazard, to venture what falls, Perhaps, that Haphazard, will end all your thralls. I mean so. I will so, if thou do persuade me, To hap or to hazard, what thing shall invade me: I King and I kaiser, I rule and overwhelm: I do what it please me, with in this my realm: Wherefore in thy judgement, see that thou do enter, Hap life or hap death, I surely will venture. Then this, and in this sort, standeth the matter, What need many words, unless I should flatter, Full many there be, will hazard their life, Happily to case your grace of all your strife, Of this kind of conspiracy now let us common, Some man, Virginius, before you must summon, And say that Virginia is none of his Daughter. But that Virginius by night away caught her: Then charge you the father his Daughter to bring, Then do you detain her, till proved be the thing: Which well you may win her, she present in house, It is but Haphazard, a man or a mouse I find it, I mind it, I swear that I will, Though shame, or defame, do happen no skill, But out I am wounded, how am I divided? Two states of my life, from me are now glided, For Conscience he pricketh me contemned, And justice saith, judgement would have me condemn: Conscience saith cruelty sure will detest me: And justice saith, death in th'end will molest me, And both in one sudden methinks they do cry, That fire eternal, my soul shall destroy. Why these are but thoughts man? why fie for shame fie For Conscience was careless, and sailing by seas, Was browned in a basket and had a disease, Sore moved for pity, when he would grant none, For being hard hearted, was turned to a stone: And sailing by Sandwich he sunk for his sin, Then care not for conscience, the worth of a pin: And judgement judge justice to have a reward, For judging still justly, but all is now marred, For gifts they are given, where judgement is none, Thus judgement and justice a wrong way hath gone: Then care not for Conscience the worth of a fable, justice is no man, nor nought to do able.

Oh thundring Gods that threaten yre, and Plague for eche offence: Your ſelues I déeme would counſell craue, in this ſo fit pretence: And eke your nimble ſtretched armes, with great rewards would ſhe, To purchaſe farie Virginia, ſo deare a wight to me: And friend, I ſweare by Iubiter, and eke by Iunos ſeate: And eke by all the miſteries, where on thou canuſt intreate: Thou ſhalt poſſeſſe and haue, I will thée graunt and geue, The greateſt part of all my Realme, for aye thee to releeue. Well then, this is my counſell, thus ſtandard the caſe, Perhaps ſuch a ſetch, as may pleaſe your grace: There is no more wayes, but hap or hap not, Either hap, or els hapleſſe, to knit vp the knot: And if you will hazard, to venter what falles, Perhaps, that Haphazard, will end al your thralles. I meane ſo. I will ſo, if thou do perſwade me, To hap or to hazard, what thing ſhall enuade me: I King and I Keyſer, I rule and ouerwhealme: I do what it pleaſe me, with in this my realme: Wherfore in thy indgement, ſee that thou do enter, Hap life or hap death, I ſurely will venter. Then this, and in this ſorte, ſtandeth the matter, What neede many wordes, vnleſſe I ſhould flatter, Full many there be, will hazard their life, Happely to caſe your grace of all your ſtrife, Of this kinde of conſpiraſie now let vs common, Some man, Virginius, before you muſt ſummon, And ſay that Virginia is none of his Daughter. But that Virginius by night away caught her: Then charge you the father his Daughter to bringe, Then do you detayne hir, till proued be the thing: Which well you may win hir, ſhe preſent in houſe, It is but Haphazarde, a man or a mouſe I finde it, I minde it, I ſweare that I will, Though ſhame, or defame, do happen no ſkill, But out I am wounded, how am I deuided? Two ſtates of my life, from me are now glided, For Conſience he pricketh me contempned, And Iuſtice ſaith, Iudgement wold haue me condem ned: Conſience ſaith crueltye ſure will deteſt me: And Iuſtice ſaith, death in thende will moleſt me, And both in one ſodden me thinkes they do crie, That fier eternall, my ſoule ſhall deſtroy. Why theſe are but thoughts man? why fie for ſhame fie For Conſience was careleſſe, and ſayling by ſeas, Was browned in a baſket and had a diſeaſe, Sore mooued for pitye, when he would graunt none, For beyng hard harted, was turned to a ſtone: And ſayliing by Sandwitche he ſunke for his ſin, Then care not for conſience, the worth of a pin: And Iudgement iudge Iuſtice to haue a reward, For iudging ſtill iuſtly, but all is now marde, For giftes they are geuen, wher Iudgement is none, Thus Iudgement and Iuſtice awronge way hath gone: Then care not for Conſience the worth of a fable, Iuſtice is no man, nor nought to do able.
