YOUTH.
How should I save it, tell me now,
And I will be ruled after you
My soul to save.
RIOT.
What, youth; will ye forsake me?
I will not forsake thee.
HUMILITY.
I shall tell you shortly;
Kneel down and ask God mercy,
For that you have offended.
PRIDE.
Youth, wilt thou do so?
Follow them, and let us go?
Marry, I trow, nay.
YOUTH.
Here all sin I forsake,
And to God I me betake;
Good Lord, I pray thee have no indignation,
That I, a sinner, should ask salvation.
CHARITY.
Now thou must forsake Pride,
And all Riot set aside.
PRIDE.
I will not him forsake,
Neither early ne late;
I ween'd he would not forsake me;
But if it will none otherwise be,
I will go my way.
YOUTH.
Sir, I pray God be your speed,
And help you at your need.
RIOT.
I am sure thou wilt not forsake me,
Nor I will not forsake thee.
YOUTH.
I forsake you also,
And will not have with you to do.
