There will none believe I dare jeopard my hand, That pleasure shall die so long as the world doth stand Therefore take no care, nor yet lament or moan, For suddenly it came, and suddenly it willbe gone. I am never able to abide it if it last long, I fry in my fits the pains be so strong. Even as you were the occasion of the sickness of your father, So is your son Sin to you I am sure: So that you would I think be soon easied of your pains If you could avoid sin from you by any means. None in the world I think could guess better. For as Money is to me, even so am I sins father: Therefore to be at ease and to be rid of that lobber, Help now all my friends for love of money and pleasure. I cannot choose but help, you have so conjured us now, For Money and Pleasure none but will take pains I trow: He is not worthy to live I make god a vow, That will not work his heart out for both you. oh, help, help quickly, I never stood in more need, I am so full of sin I shall burst without quick speed. I was afraid of nothing but only of my dagger, lest in the time of my birth it would have sticked my father, And then for my grandfather few would have cared: If you my father Pleasure had been slain or killed. Yea marry Sir now my thinks I am more at liberty, I could not once turn me in my father's belly, My father need not care in what company he doth eat, I have made his throat so wide he can not be choked with meat. Although my pains were great yet now I may be glad, That I have to my son such a pretty fine lad. If I be now a lad, what be you then? A boy of my age will never make man: And although I be young yet am I well grown, No child of six year old is so big in all this town. Well my son Sin according to thy nature and name, All that loves money and me see that you do frame To all sinful living and all other wickedness I need not bid thee for I know well thy goodness. I have ever to you Pleasure borne such love, That to depart with you my heart doth me move. He hath as much need to bid me do this, As to make a dog hold up his leg when he doth piss: And as Sin is the child of pleasure in every nation, even so my son and heir is endless damnation. By the mass I care not what sin I commit So that thereby I may purchase pleasure and profit. It is a hard thing that I would not do for money, I would cut my father's throat if I might get money thereby.
