Peace friend, consider well your state, and let your sorrow slake, For I it is that must and will this matter on me take, if you do this with languishing our presence here descry, Before that we lay hands on her then were we near the nigh. Peace I say. I say be still, I will to her alone, And follow you as you see time, as soon as I am gone, I will. Fair Lady be you not afraid that you do see us hear, We both be come to do you good, and not to yield you fear, You see the Orchard doors are fast, the wails are close and just, In all this world none can us see, we may do what we lust, I say again in all this world▪ none can see what we do, We burn toward thee with fervent lust consent us therefore to, We are but men, and of that kind, that thou thyself art made▪ Come lie with us, we love thee well, Susan be not afraid, For if thou wilt not then we shall, a testimonial lay, Against thee of a marvelous force, and thus both we will say, A youngman with thee here we found, in very secret sport, Which caused thee away to send thy maids in such a sort. Alas methinks your thoughts and words together do not 'gree, You are of age, and know right well, that no such sin should be, You know also God doth it curse, and make our law on earth, Doth recompense such sinners to, with sharp and cruel death. And therefore good my friend I say, do leave as you begun, And I will hold me so content, and hide that you have done. Nay, nay madam, we mean not so, we mean to have our will, Do you consent you shall us find both sure and secret still, And so we may have company, no wight can us correct, And this I know assuredly, no man will us suspect, This do, or else I swear for troth we shall declare at large, as this my friend hath said afore, which were to great a charge, Therefore consent we might have done, while we have used this talk If not do you assure you, our evidence shall walk. Oh Lord, oh God, oh King of bliss, what storms do stop my breath, If I fulfil your filthy lust, I know it breeds my death, And if I do not, then ah, alas, you trap me in your bands, And thus can I poor Innocent, by no means scape your hands. Well better it is without the act, your danger to fall in. Then to attempt my Lord my God with this so vile a sin. Help, help, help. What is the matter? It was our chance in ending things, which we have for to end, Secretly to common here, where none should here our mind, And lying close and secret still, we shame to much to show, But what we saw, we keep it close, till Ioachim may it know.
