Begyn and say your pleasure +Health+ I thanke you hartely then wyll I Some what unto my purpose apply Though welth be praised marualufly 50 Yet to myne understanding. Welth is mutable, and that iu shame And welth is hauty and proude of name Welth is cruell, and in great blame For welth ts euer wauerynge. +Wealth.+ To whom haue I doone any harme can ye say, Ye stander me nowe, yet I trust I may Aunswere for my selte in euery maner way Ye wyl not deny that? +Health+ God forbyd but ye should do so 60 And ye may doo it whether I wyl or no Inlykewise, I must answer you also Wh en ye say not true. Though I be but to you a poore man yet helth I height, the same I am That is desyred vniuersally than Some calles me as good as you +Welth.+ As I, mary ther in deede ye do compare. Such wordes myght brynge you soone in care Lewde parson, thouart not ware 70 Of what substaunce I am |
