Speak fair and please the lust of thy lord,

I warrant thee be had in great estimation,

When those that tell truth shall be abhorr'd.

Ah, unhappy Lingua, whither wilt thou ren?

Take heed, I advise thee, lest thou be shent;

If ye chance to tell any tales of these gentlewomen,

With flesh-hooks and nails you are like to be rent;

Nay, for the passion of me be not so moved,

And I will please you incontinent again.

Above all treasures you are worthy to be loved,
