Truly this talk doth encourage me so much, That to see the Court again, I do pretend, But I pray thee dost thou know any such, As use upon gauges money to lend? Why man for that matter you need not to doubt, Of such men there are enough everywhere, But see how luckily it doth fall out. See yonder two friends of mine do appear. There is a broker between man and man, whenas any bargains they have in hand, The other a merchants man now and than, In borrowing money, thy friends they may stand. So are we in deed, and what of that? Who is it that with by would any thing have? Even I a Gentleman whom money do lack, And therein your friendship would gladly crave. Therein we can help you if your pleasure it be, And will do or else we were greatly to blame, Provided always that to our pains you do see, And also put in a good pawn for the same. A pawn sufficient I will therefore lay, And also your pains I will recompense well. But I must needs have it out of the way, Although my Lands therefore I do sell. You shall have it sir so soon as you will, And therein you shallbe friendly used, For in friendly using this fellow hath skill, Therefore his counsel must not be refused. He is servant unto a Merchant man, Who is partly ruled after his mind. In deed as you say, help me he can, I doubt not but his friendship I shall find. Doubt you not sir, but in pleasuring me, I will recompense your pains with the most. What I can do for you, soon you shall see, It is but folly thereof for to boast. Well then it is time that hence we were packing, For fain an end thereof I would know. Why sir no diligence in us shallbe lacking, For we are ready, if that you be so. Why then that we go I think it were best, Think you your master is now at home? Ye I know well at home he doth rest, And I guess that now he is sitting alone, Therefore no longer here let us stay. Then sir adieu for I will lead the way. Now may you see how Courage can work, And how he can encourage, both to good and bad: The Merchant is encouraged, in greediness to lurk, And the courtier to win worship, by Courage is glad. The one is good, no man will denay, I mean courage to win worship and fame: So that the other is ill, all men will say, That is courage to greediness, which getteth ill name. Thus may you see Courage contagious, And eke contrarious, both in me do rest: For I of kind, am always various, And change, as to my mind seemeth best. Between man and wife, sometimes I do show, Both my kindness, when my pleasure it is: The goodwife giveth her husband a blow,
