Come give me thy hand I beshrew thy heart. Nay you must take all things in good part, Who standeth yonder captain Lust? Yea marry. No remedy then to him go I must, you have forgot I dare say your old friend Inclination But let us renew acquaintance again for cock's passion Why man our acquaintance hath been of old, I am yours at commandment therefore be bold, For Lust can do nothing without Inclination, Chief in matters concerning a pleasant vocation. In deed Lust may be taken for a thing indifferent Except Inclination be joined thereunto. But when that I once have reaveled my intent, As I will men to work so commonly they do, Ye have hard of the combat between me & Just. ye marry, I hard say that you lay in the dust. What say ye. Neither one word nor other ye may me trust. Of mine honesty my company he utterly refused, And in wrestling with me he gave me the foil, saying: that I had myself and other abused. Leading men in perplexity & marvelous toil. By gog's wounds if we had found him here, We should by his flesh have abated his cheer. I perceive Sturdines thou art no fool, Tell me of fellowship where wentest thou to school, What to read or wright. Nay to swear and fight. For I think thou canst neither write, read, nor spell, But in swearing and fight thou dost excel. Thou knowest that I am joined with Lust, And Sturdy by nature I am in like case, What let the world wag, all can not be just, Some must Natural inclination embrace. All men just: no, I remember the sentence of Tully That no man is just, that feareth death poverty or pain, which I do fear all & that marvelously, For fortune is variable I do perceive plain, And notwithstanding that Flix possessed great gain, yet when Paul preached of the judgement day, He trembled for fear and bade him go away. Doth such passions often trouble your mind? Nay not often, but sometime I do them find, But then to the intent to drive them away, I either go to sleep, or else to some play. By gog's precious heart, even so do I, But sometime they cumber me pestilently. Well master Lust, such dumps to eschew My advise and request you must needs ensue, That is to become disciple to doctor Epicurus, And then you shall have mirth by measure & overplus Tush, I know a couple companions in store That ware marvelous meet for you evermore. I wish you unto them. Well then call them in. Here they come each of them in a knaves skin. With lust to live is our delight, In high estate and dignity, Seing that the Just put us to flight, Let them alone in misery. Nay, they be lusty lads I tell ye.
