Avar. Alack, noble lady! I would I could do you good.

Resp. Yes, Policy! ye might amend all, if you lust.

Avar. Yea, faith! I durst put myself to you of trust.
But, there be enough that, for you, could shift make.

Resp. Yet, none like to you! if you would it undertake—
And I will put myself wholly into your hands:
Metal, grain, cattle, treasure, goods and lands—

Avar. Well! I will take some pain; but this to you be known:
I will do it, not for your sake, and not for mine own.

Resp. How say ye that, Policy?

Avar. This to you be known:
I will do all for your sake, and not for mine own.

Resp. I thank you, Policy!

Avar. Nay, I thank you, lady!
And I trust ere long to ease all our malady—
Well, ye put yourself now wholly into my hands?

Resp. Order me as you will.
