That ye may esteem him after his worthiness, In these twenty towns and seek them throughout, Is not the like stock, whereon to graff a lout. All the day long is he facing and craking Of his great acts in fighting and fraymaking: But when Roister Doister is put to his proof, To keep the queens peace is more for his behoof. If any woman smile or cast on him an eye, Up is he to the hard ears in love by and by, And in all the hot haste must she be his wife, Else farewell his good days, and farewell his life, Master Raufe Roister Doister is but dead and gone Except she on him take some compassion, Then chief of counsel, must be Mathew Merrygreek, What if I for marriage to such an one seek? Then must I soothe it, whatever it is: For what he sayth or doth can not be amiss, Hold up his yea and nay, be his noun white son, Praise and rouse him well, and ye have his heart won, For so well liketh he his own fond fashions That he taketh pride of false commendations. But such sport have I with him as I would not lose, Though I should be bound to live with bread and cheese. For exalt him, and have him as ye lust in deed: Yea to hold his finger in a hole for a need. I can with a word make him fain or loath, I can with as much make him pleased or wroth, I can when I will make him merry and glad, I can when me lust make him sorry and sad, I can set him in hope and eke in despair, I can make him speak rough, and make him speak fair. But I marvel I see him not all this same day, I will seek him out: But lo he cometh this way, I have yond espied him sadly coming, And in love for twenty 〈◊〉, by his glomming. COme death when thou wilt, I am weary of my life. I told you ay, we should woo another wife. Why did God make me such a goodly person? He is in by the week, we shall have sport anon. And where is my trusty friend Mathew Merrygreek? I will make as I saw him not, he doth me seek. I have him espied methinketh, yond is he, Hough Mathew Merrygreek my friend, a word with thee. I will not hear him, but make as I had haste, Farewell all my good friends, the time away doth waste, And the tide they say, tarrieth for no man. Thou must with thy good counsel help me if thou can. God keep thee worshipful Master Roister Doister, And fare well the lusty Master Roister Doister. I must needs speak with thee a word or twain.
