Now to the devil's grace you me seem to give counsel.
Now must I apply all my invention, That I may devise Avarice to hide. Thy name shall be called Careful Provision, And every man for his household may lawfully provide: Thus shalt thou go cloaked, and never be spied. AVARICE. Thy counsel, Hypocrisy, I very well allow, And will recompense thee, if ever I know how. TYRANNY. Now on a boon[34] voyage let us depart, For I [am] well loth any time to delay. HYPOCRISY. Nay, yet in sign of a merry heart, Let us sing before we go away. AVARICE. I am content; begin, I you pray; But to sing the treble, we must needs have one. HYPOCRISY. If you say so, let it even alone. [_Exeunt_. |
