Say you so mistress Mary, will you put me in trust In faith I will tell you, you can not trust a wiser, You shall live pleasantly, even at your heart's lust, If you make me your counsellor and deviser. Remember that you are young and full of dalliance Lusty, courageous, fair, beautiful and wise. I will have you to attempt all kinds of pastance, Using all pleasure at your own hearts devise. Do you think that it is not more than madness, The lusty and pleasant life of a man's youth, Miserably to pass away in study and sadness, It is extreme folly mistress Mary for a truth. Be ye merry, and put away all fantasies, One thing is this, you shall never be younger in deed, Your bodily pleasure I would have you to exercise, Sure you are of worldly substance never to need. Certainly my parents brought me up in childhood, In virtuous qualities, and godly literature, And also they bestowed upon me much good To have me nourtred in noble ornature. But evermore they were unto me very tender, They would not suffer the wind on me to blow, My requests they would always to me render, Whereby I knew the good will that to me they did owe. At their departing, their goods they distributed Among us their children, whom they did well love. But me as their darling, they most reputed, And gave me the greatest part, as it did behove. Puellae pestis, indulgentia parentum, Of parents the tender and carnal sufferance, Is to young maidens a very pestilence. It is a provocation and furtherance, Unto all lust and fleshly concupiscence. O mistress Mary, your parents did see, That you were beautiful and well favoured: They did right well as it seemeth me, That so worshipfully they have you furthered. As I understand, you have in your possession The whole castle of Magdalene, with the purtenance, Which you may rule at your discretion, And obtain thereby riches in abundance. O what worldly pleasure can you want, What commodities have you of your own? About Ierusalem is not such a plant, As to me and many other is well known, It were decent I say, to use the fruition Of such richesse as is left you here, You never heard in any erudition, But that one with his own should make good cheer. By my troth so would I, if I perfectly knew Which way I should good cheer making begin, A lusty disposition from me doth ensue: But without council, I am not worth a pin. Council? in you shall want no council in deed, I know where a certain company is, Which can give such council in time of need, That you following them can never speed amiss. Now I pray you help me to that company, And look what I am able to do for your pleasure, You shall have it I promise you verily, Yea, whether it be lands, gold, or treasure.
