No no▪ ye will not know me now, The might on the earth I do subdue, tush, if you will give me leave yle tell ye how, How, in good faith I carenot greatly, Although I declare my daily increase But then these gentle women willbe angry, therefore I think best to hold my peace: Nay I beseech you let the matter stay, For I would not for twenty pound come in their hands For if there should chance to be but one dalila, By the mass they would bind me in Samsons bands But what mean I first with them to begin, Seing that in all men I do remain, Because that first I remained even within, And after her Adam and so forth to Cain, I perceive by your looks my name ye would know, Why you are not ignorant of that I dare say, It is I that do guide the bent of your bow, And ruleth your actions also day by day, Forsooth I am called Natural inclination Which bred in old Adam's fostered bones, So that I am proper to his generation I will not away with casting of stones, I make the stoutest to bow and bend: Again when I lust I make men stand upright From the lowest to the highest I do ascend, Drawing them to things of natural might.

Nay I dare not I if thou lookest so big, What should such a Boar fight with a pig. Put up thy sword man we will agree, So lo: do so much as bear that for me. Nay by his heart, than I will you dress. Be Good in thine office gentle friend Sturnines, For though thou and I do seem to contend, yet we are, and must be friends till the end.

My name is luſt, & let him truſte That I will haue redreſſe, For thou and I, will make him flie, Mine oulde friende Sturdines. Where is nowe that valiaunt Hercules, For all his bragges he is nowe ronne away: By the guttes of Golya, it is beſt for his eaſe, For he was moſte like for the pottage to paye. Cockes ſoule: what bragging knaues haue we here, Come ye to conuince the mightieſt conquerer, It was I that before you now doth appeare, Which brought to confuſion both Hector & Alexander: Looke on this legge ye prating ſlaues, I remember ſince it was no greater then a tree, At that time I had a cupple of knaues Muche like vnto you that wayghted on me. Cockes precious ſoule, let vs conquer the knaue, By his fleſhe and ſydes, a good courage I haue, Stande you therfore a litle aſyde And ye ſhall ſee me quickely abate the fooles pryde. Naye I dare not I if thou lookeſt ſo bigge, What ſhould ſuche a Bore fight with a pigge. Put vp thy ſwoorde man we will agree, So lo: doe ſo much as beare that for mee. Nay by his harte, then I will you dreſſe. Be Good in thine office gentle friend Sturnines, For though thou and I doe ſeme to contende, yet we are, and muſt be friendes till the ende.
