Even with all my heart begin when ye will. To it, and I will either help or stand still. Am not I in blessed case Treasure and pleasure to possess, I would not wish no better place, If I may still have wealthiness, And to enjoy in perfect peace, My lady lady. My pleasant pleasure shall increase My dear lady.

I am God's minister called Visitation, Which divers and many ways you may understand Sometime I bring sickness, sometime perturbation, Sometime trouble and misery throughout the land, Sometime I signify gods wrath to be at hand, Sometime a forerunner of destruction imminent, But an exectuter of pain I am at this present, Thou incipient fool that haste followed thy lust, Disdaining the doctrine declared by Sapience, In treasure and pleasure hath been thy trust, Which thou thoughtest should remain ever in thy presence Thou never remember'st Thales his sentence, Who willeth men in all things to keep a measure, Especially in love to incertainty of treasure, Even now I am come from visiting the Just, Because God beginneth first with his elect, But he is so associate and comforted with trust, That no kind of impatience his soul can infect, Contentation in such sort his race doth direct, That he is contented with God's operation, Comfortably embracing me his visitation. But now I am come to vex thee with pain, Which makest treasure thy castle and rock, Thou shalt know that both she and pleasure is vain, And that the almighty thou canst not mock, Anguish and grief into thee I do cast, With pain in thy members continually, Now thou hast pain thy pleasure can not last, But I will expelle him incontinently. O cocks heart, what a pestilence is this, Depart from me I say, hence gods Visitation, Help, help, lady treasure thou gods of bliss, At thy hands let me have some consolation. I will remain with you be out of doubt. Will ye be packing you ill-favoured lout.
