O master Lust, she hath an amiable face, A tricker, a trimmer, in faith that she is, The gods of wealth, prosperity and bliss. But think you that this minion long endure shall. For ever and ever man, she is immortal: There be many other, but she exceedeth them all. What be they, have you their names in store, Yea hark in your ear. & many other more Scythe that the apple of Paris before me is cast, And that I may deliver the same where I will, I would Prometheus were here to help me hold fast That I might have a fore wit with me ever still, Pallas I consider in science hath skill, But Iuno and Venus, good will do I bear, Therefore to give the Appull I know not where. Be conciled by me and give it lady Treasure, It shallbe for your commodity in the end without measure For having the company of this minion lass, you shall never want the society of Pallas, Iuno, nor yet the armipotent Mars, Can not resist your strength be they never so fierce And as for Venus, you shall have at pleasure, For she is bought and sold always with Treasure, She of her power hath whole countries conquered The most noble champions by her hath been murdered Acon for her sake was stoned to death, Tush, innumerable at this day spend their breath, some hang or be hanged, they love her so well, She is the great goddess, it is true that I tell. Which way should I work of her to have a sight. I Inclination will lead you thither right, But we must have Greedy gut and also Elation. They are at the house of carnal Cogitation. Whether I would wish that we might depart. I will lead you thither with all my heart. So happy is the state of those, That walk upright and just, That thou Lord dost thy face disclose By perfect hope and trust. Their Inclination thou dost stay, And sendest them Sapience, That they should serve and eke obey, Thy high magnificence. Thou sendest contentation, That we in thee may rest, Therefore all adoration, To thee pertaineth best. God careth for his as the Prophet doth say, And preserveth them under his merciful wings, Namely the just that his will do obey, Observing his holy commandment in all things, Not for our sake, or for our deservings, But for his own sake openly to declare, That all men on earth ought to live in his fear. How God hath blessed you all men may see, For first at your entrance you conquered Lust, Not by your power, but by might of the deity, As all persons ought to do that be just, Then through Sapience which God did you send, You bridled that brutish beast Inclination, And also ordered you with Contentation. Those that are contented with their vocation, Be thankful to God, this is a true consequent, And those that be thankful in their conversation, Can not but please the Lord God omnipotent, But those that be sturdy, proud, and disobedient, The Ruler of all Rulers will them confound, And rote their remembrance of from the ground.

O maiſter Luſte, ſhe hath an amiable face, A tricker▪ a trimmer, in faith that ſhe is, The goddes of wealth, proſperitie and bliſſe. But thinke you that this minion long endure ſhall. For euer and euer man, ſhe is immortall: There be many other, but ſhe exceadeth them all. What be they, haue you their names in ſtore, Yea harke in your eare. & many other more Sithe that the apple of Paris before me is caſt, And that I may deliuer the ſame where I will, I would Prometheus were here to helpe me hold faſt That I might haue a fore witte with me euer ſtill, Pallas I conſider in ſcience hath ſkill, But Iuno and Venus, good will doe I beare, Therfore to geue the Appull I know not where. Be conciled by me and geue it lady Treaſure, It ſhalbe for your cōmoditie in ye end without meaſur For hauing the company of this minion laſſe, you ſhall neuer wante the ſocietie of Pallas, Iuno, nor yet the armipotent Mars, Can not reſiſte your ſtrengthe be they neuer ſo fearce And as for Venus, you ſhall haue at pleaſure, For ſhe is bought and ſolde alwayes with Treaſure, She of her power hath whole countries conquered The moſt noble chāpions by her hath ben murthered Acon for her ſake was ſtoned to death, Tuſhe, innumerable at this day ſpende their breath, Sume hange or be hanged, they loue her ſo well, She is the great goddeſſe, it is true that I tell. Which way ſhould I worke of her to haue a ſight. I Inclination will leade you thyther right, But we muſt haue Gredy gutte and alſo Elation. They are at the houſe of carnall Cogitation. Whether I would wyſhe that we might departe. I will leade you thether with all my harte. So happy is the ſtate of thoſe▪ That walke vpright and iuſte, That thou Lorde doeſt thy face diſcloſe By perfect hope and truſte. Their Inclination thou doeſt ſtay, And ſendeſt them Sapience, That they ſhould ſerue and eke obey, Thy highe magnificence. Thou ſendeſt contentation, That we in thee may reſt, Therefore all adoration, To thee perteineth beſt. God careth for his as the Prophet doth ſaye, And preſerueth them vnder his mercifull wynges, Namely the Iuſte that his will doe obey, Obſeruing his holy commaundement in all thinges, Not for our ſake, or for our deſeruinges, But for his owne ſake openly to declare, That all men on earth ought to lyue in his feare. Howe God hath bliſſed you all men may ſee, For firſt at your entraunce you conquered Luſte, Not by your power, but by myght of the deitie, As all perſons ought to doe that be Iuſte, Then through Sapience which God did you ſende, You bridled that brutiſhe beaſte Inclination, And alſo ordred you with Contentation. Thoſe that are contented with their vocation, Be thankefull to God, this is a true conſequent, And thoſe that be thankefull in their conuerſation, Can not but pleaſe the Lorde God omnipotent, But thoſe that be ſturdie, proude, and diſobediente, The Ruler of all Rulers will them confounde, And rote their remembraunce of from the grounde.
