RIOT.
Sir, in faith I shall tell you true, She is fresh and fair of hue, And very proper of body; Men call her Lady Lechery. YOUTH. My heart burneth, by God of might, Till of that lady I have a sight. (_Intret Superbia cum Luxuria et dicat Superbia_.) PRIDE. Sir, I have fulfilled your intent, And have brought you in this present, That you have sent me for. YOUTH. Thou art a ready messenger; Come hither to me, my heart so dear, Ye be welcome to me as the heart in my body. LECHERY. Sir, I thank you, and at your pleasure I am; Ye be the same unto me. YOUTH. Masters, will ye to tavern walk? A word with you here will I talk, And give you the wine. |
