Forsooth ye be the more sot Now masters I heartily beseech ye Tell me what manner case your case may be I am beloved not loving whereby I am not in pain but in tormentry Is this your tormentor god turn him to good Nay there is another man one me as wood As this man on another woman is ye think them both mad and so do I by iys So mote I thrive but who that list to mark shall perceive here a pretty piece of work Let us fall somewhat in these parts to scaning Loving not loved, loved not loving Loved and loving, not loving nor loved will ye see these four parts well joined Loving not loved, and loved not loving Those parts can join in no manner reckoning Loving and loved, loved nor lover These parts in joining in likewise differ But in that ye love ye twain joined be And being not loved ye join with me And being no lover with me joineth she And being beloved with her join ye Had I a joiner with me joined jointly we joiners should join joint to joint quickly For first I would part these parts in flese And ones departed these parted peses part and part with part I would so partlyke part That each part should part with quiet heart Sir sins it passeth your power that part to play Let pass, and let us partly now assay To bring some part of that purpose to end For which all parties yet in vain attend I do desire the same and that we twain May first be hard that I may know my pain I grant for my part by faith of my body why where the devil is this whoreson noddy I never sit in justice but ever more I use to be shriven a little before And now sins that my confession is done I will departed and come take penance soon when conscience pricketh conscience must be searched by god In discharging of conscience or else gods forbade which maketh me meet when conscyens must come in place To be a judge in every comen case But who may like me his advancement avaunt Now am I a judge and never was sergeant which ye regard not much by aught that I see By any reverence that ye do to me Nay yet I praise women when great men go by They crouch to the ground look here how they lie They shall have a beck by saint Antony But alas good master I cry you mercy That you are unanswered but ye may see Though two tales at ones by two ears hard may be yet can not one mouth two tales at once answer which maketh you tarry but in your matter sins ye by haste in having farthest home would first be sped of that for which ye come I grant as he granted your will to fulfil you twain to be hard first, begin when you will
