As joys the weary Pilgrim by the way, When Phoebus' waves unto the western deep, To summon him to his desired rest: Or as the poor distressed Mariner, Long tossed by shipwreck on the foaming waves, At length beholds the long wished haven, Although from far, his heart doth dance for joy: So Loves consent at length my mind hath eased, My troubled thoughts, by sweet content are pleased. My father recks not virtue, But vows to wed me to a man of wealth, And swears, his gold shall counterpoise his worth; But Lelia scorns proud Mammon's golden mines, And better likes of learning's sacred lore, Then of fond Fortune's glistering mockeries: But Sophos try thy wits, and use thy utmost skill To please my father, and compass his good will. To what fair Lelia will, doth Sophos yield content, Yet that's the troublous gulf my silly ship must pass: But were that venture harder to achieve Then that of Iason for the golden fleece, I would effect it for sweet Lelia's sake, Or leave myself as witness of my thoughts. How say you by that, mistress? he'll do any thing for your sake. Thanks gentle love. But least my father should suspect, Whose jealous head with more than Argus eyes, Doth measure every gesture that I use, I'll in and leave you here alone, Adieu sweet friend until we meet again, Come Nurse follow me. Farewell my love, fair fortune be thy guide. Now Sophos, now bethink thyself How thou mayst win her father's will to knit this happy knot. Alas thy state is poor, thy friends are few, And fear forbids to tell my fates to friend: Well, I'll try my Fortunes; And find out some convenient time, whenas her father's leisure best shall serve To confer with him about fair Lelia's love. Neighbour Ploddall, and Master Churms, you're welcome to my house. What news in the Country, neighbour? you are a good husband, you ha' done sowing barley I am sure. Yes sir an't please you, a fortnight since. Master Churms, what says my debtor? can you get any money of them yet? Not yet sir, I doubt they are scarce able to pay, You must e'en forbear them a while, they'll exclaim on you else. Let them exclaim and hang and starve and beg, let me ha' my money. Here's this good fellow too, Master Churms, I must e'en put him and his father over into your hands, they'll pay me no Rent. This good fellow quotha? I scorn that base, broking, brabbling, brawling, bastardly, bottlenosed, beetle-browed, bean-bellied name. Why, Robin Goodfellow is this same cogging, perifogging, crackeropes calfskin companion: Put me and my father over to him? old Silver top and you had not put me before my father, I would ha'— What wouldst ha' done? I would have had a snatch at you, that I would What art a dog? No: if I had been a dog, I would ha' snapped of your nose ere this, and so I should have cozened the D● of a marrowbone.

As ioyes the wearie Pilgrim by the way, When Phebus waues vnto the weſterne deepe, To ſommon him to his deſired reſt: Or as the poore diſtreſſed Mariner, Long toſt by ſhipwracke on the foming waues, At length beholds the long wiſht hauen, Although from farre, his heart doth dance for ioy: So Loues conſent at length my mind hath eaſ'd, My troubled thoughts, by ſweet content are pleaſ'd. My father recks not vertue, But vowes to wed me to a man of wealth, And ſweares, his gold ſhall counterpoyſe his worth; But Lelia ſcorn's proud Mammon's golden mines, And better likes of learnings ſacred lore, Then of fond Fortunes gliſtering mockeries: But Sophos trie thy wits, and vſe thy vtmoſt skill To pleaſe my father, and compaſſe his good will. To what faire Lelia wills, doth Sophos yeeld content, Yet thats the troublous gulfe my ſilly ſhip muſt paſſe: But were that venture harder to atchieue Then that of Iaſon for the golden fleece, I would effect it for ſweet Lelias ſake, Or leaue my ſelfe as witneſſe of my thoughts. How ſay you by that, miſtreſſe? heel doe any thing for your ſake. Thankes gentle loue. But leaſt my father ſhould ſuſpect, Whoſe iealous head with more than Argus eyes, Doth meaſure euery geſture that I vſe, Ile in and leaue you here alone, Adieu ſweet friend vntill we meet againe, Come Nurſe follow me. Farewell my loue, faire fortune be thy guide. Now Sophos, now bethinke thy ſelfe How thou maiſt win her fathers will to knit this happie knot. Alas thy ſtate is poore, thy friends are few, And feare forbids to tell my fates to friend: Well, Ile trie my Fortunes; And finde out ſome conuenient time, When as her fathers leyſure beſt ſhal ſerue To conferre with him about faire Lelias loue.
