For judging still justly, but all now is marr’d;

For gifts they are given where judgment is none.

Thus judgment and justice a wrong way hath gone.

Then care not for Conscience the worth of a fable;

Justice is no man, nor nought to do able.

Appius. And sayest thou so, my ’sured friend? then hap as hap shall it:

Let Conscience grope and judgment crave, I will not shrink one whit.

I will persever in my thought: I will deflower her youth;

I will not sure reverted be, my heart shall have no ruth.

Come on, proceed, and wait on me, I will, hap woe or wealth:
