Man. No! but yet it were according
To have therein his counsel;
Man, without Reason, is but blind;
And, if I should speak after my mind,
I can well a difference find
Betwixt man and a beast
When he hath Reason in presence,
And duly obeyeth his law and sentence.
Wor. Aff. Why have ye such a spiced conscience
Now, within your breast,
That changeth your mind so suddenly?
I am sorry and ashamed, truly,
On your behalf!
Man. No force, hardely!
Thou leadest me all wrong;
And, therefore, will I no more follow thee.
Wor. Aff. Not Worldly Affection?
Man. No, parde!
Nor yet thy brother Sensuality:
I have followed you too long.
Wor. Aff. Is that your mind?
Man. Yea, doubtless!
And now will I seek Shamefacedness,
By whom I trust I shall redress
All my misdeed.
Wor. Aff. And, sith thou wilt needs to Shame bow,
I pray God send thee shame enow.
And yet I trust, make God avow!
Once thou shalt have need
To call me again to thy service.
Man. Nay, nay, on warrantise!
Now, sirs! who can me advise
What is best to do?
[Enter Shamefacedness.]
