Marry sirs, but your counsels hath set me on fire. hay lusty lad, how fresh am I now, Lead me Inclination to have my desire, And then at thy request I will ever bend & bow. He that bendeth to follow his own inclination, Must needs live a wicked and vile conversation, But go master Lust, I will lead you to a place Where you shall have pleasure enough in short space. yea, but shall not this company go thither. yes marry we four will all go together, But Sturdines shall tarry to face out the matter, If just peradventure against you should clatter. By the mass, and well said, but first let us sing, I must tune my pipes first of all with drinking. Tush what then, I pray thee help us bear a part. yes I will sing the trouble with all my heart. Luste shallbe led by inclination To carnal cogitation, Where lust is led wholly by me, He must fall to Cupidite, For carnal cares shall him assail, And speedily they shall prevail. I Sturdines will face it out, In his cause, sturdy stiff and stout, Then Greedy gut shall make him eat, Both house & lands, like bread & meat. Elation shall puff him high For to aspire above the sky, Then natural and lordly lust, Shall with his power despise the just. Our song is ended haste thou other in store, I shall not have done this half hour and more, yet I will now I remember, come in Lust That I go before is but needful and just, you shallbe now led by me Inclination to reason and talk with Carnal cogitation. Is there more vanity under neath the son, Then to be inclined after this sort, well Lust doth now as other have done, yea, and do day by day, esteeming it a sport, this Lust is the Image of all wicked men, which in seeking the world, have all delectation, they regard not God nor his commandments ten But are wholly led by their own Inclination, First to inculcate with Carnal cogitation, And after to the desire of all worldly treasure, which alone they esteem the fullness of pleasure with Elation or Pride he is also assotiate, which puffeth up his senses with presumption pestilent then Greedy gut maketh them continually to grate On the mock of this world which he thinketh permanent, I sturdines to bear out all things, am bend: thus see you how men that are led by their lust, Dissent from the virtuous godly and just. The advise of Aristippus have in your mind, which willed men to seek such things as be permanent And not such as are of a vanishing kind For the one with the other is not equivalent, Be circumspect therefore, forcing and Sapient, For treasures here gotten are uncertain and vain, But treasures of the mind do continually remain.

Mary ſyrs, but your councels hath ſet me on fire. Hey luſty lad, how freſhe am I nowe, Leade me Inclination to haue my deſire, And then at thy requeſt I wyll euer bende & bowe. He that bendeth to folowe his owne inclination, Muſt nedes liue a wicked and vile conuerſation, But go maiſter Luſte, I will leade you to a place Where you ſhall haue pleaſure enough in ſhort ſpace. yea, but ſhall not this company goe thether. yes mary we foure will all go together, But Sturdines ſhall tary to face out the matter, If Iuſte peraduenture againſt you ſhould clatter. By the maſſe, and well ſaid, but firſt let vs ſing, I muſt tune my pipes firſt of all with drinking. Tuſhe what then, I praie thee help vs beare a part. yes I will ſing the trouble with all my harte. Luſte ſhalbe led by inclination To carnall cogitation, Where luſte is led wholy by me, He muſt fall to Cupidite, For carnall cares ſhall him aſſaile, And ſpedely they ſhall preuaile. I Sturdines will face it out, In his cauſe, ſturdy ſtiffe and ſtoute, Then Gredy gutte ſhall make him eate, Both houſe & lands, like bread & meate. Elation ſhal puffe him hie For to aſpier aboue the ſkie, Then natural and lordly luſte, Shall with his poure diſpiſe the Iuſte. Our ſonge is ended haſte thou other in ſtore, I ſhall not haue done this halfe houre and more, yet I will nowe I remember, come in Luſte That I go before is but nedefull and iuſt, you ſhalbe nowe led by me Inclination to reaſon and talke with Carnall cogitation. Is there more vanitie vnder neath the ſonne, Then to be inclined after this ſorte, well Luſte doth now as other haue done, yea, and doe daye by daye, eſteming it a ſporte, this Luſte is the Image of all wicked men, whiche in ſeeking the worlde, haue all delectation, they regarde not God nor his cōmaundementes tenne But are wholy led by their owne Inclination, Firſt to inculcate with Carnall cogitation, And after to the deſier of all worldly treaſure, whiche alone they eſteme the fulnes of pleaſure with Elation or Pride he is alſo aſſotiate, which puffeth vp his ſences with preſumption peſtilēt then Gredy gutte maketh them continually to grate On ye mock of this world which he thīketh permanēt, I ſturdines to beare out all thinges, am bent: thus ſee you howe men that are led by their luſte, Diſſent from the vertuous godlie and Iuſte. The aduiſe of Ariſtippus haue in your mynde, which willed mē to ſeke ſuch thinges as be permanēt And not ſuch as are of a vaniſhing kinde For the one with the other is not equiualent, Be circumſpect therefore, forſeing and Sapient, For treaſures here gotten are vncertaine and vaine, But treaſures of the mynde do continually remaine.
