That I shold haue knowen this had it not behouyd
And in communycacōn furst to be mouyd

Pam.

As a wyfe to gyue his doughter
Than chaungid he that purpose bycause he
Saw me vnchaungeable euer to be
Doth Chremes his deuer so obstynatly
To make me lyke a wretch forsake glycery
As a wyfe to gyue his doughter
Than chaungid he that purpose bycause he
Saw me vnchaungeable euer to be
Doth Chremes his deuer so obstynatly
To make me lyke a wretch forsake glycery
which if it so be then I wot well
For euermore I am vndone vtterly
O is there anyman that can tell
where is ony so infortunat as I
Owt well away now I can not truly
By no maner menys that I can se
Of chremes to auoyd the affinite
For euermore I am vndone vtterly
O is there anyman that can tell

Owt well away now I can not truly
By no maner menys that I can se
Of chremes to auoyd the affinite
By how many ways am I dyspysed
And set at nought for for certayne
All thingys topsytiruia be turned
Now put away & now calde agayn
wherfore? for nothing but as I think playn
They haue some monster of her & because she
Can be put to no body they offer her to me.

My.
I am almost mad for fere wyth thys seyng
Pam.
But of my fader now what shall I sey
So neclygently to do so gret a thing
He met me in the market & sayd go thy way
Home/for thou shalt be maryed thys day
I had as leue he had sayd vnto me
Go home & hang vp thy self on a tre.
I was amasyd than & think ye that I
Coud speke any word or at the lest lay
Any folysh excuse trew or faynyngly
No I was domb/but if I had hard say
Of this before & one had askyd to day
what I wold haue done in this case what
I wold haue done an other & not that.

But what shall I do so many chargys
Do let me which draw my mynd dyuersly
As loue pyte the fere of the mariagis
Then shame of my fader which so tenderly
Hath soffred me euer to lyue plesantly
Tyll this day/o shuld I now him be agayn

Ask ye she laboreth wyth chyld euyn now alas
And of this day she is agreuyd sore
For long ago the mariage was
As she hard say this same day ordeynyd for
But yet this lo she feryth furthermore
That ye will leue her this is all her drede
Pam.
Alas alas shuld I do such a dede.
Shuld I suffer her for me to be dysseyuyd
which hath put her hope & trust alonely
In me and whom I haue purposyd
My wife to be in my mynd firmely
which euer yet honestly & chastely
Hath be brought vp/shuld I for pouerte
Suffer it to be changed nay it shall neuer be
which hath put her hope & trust alonely
In me and whom I haue purposyd
My wife to be in my mynd firmely

M.

But thow canst not resist thy fathers might
P.
O thinkist thow me so grete an Ideot
Or so vnmanly or so vnkinde a wight
Or so mad or of maner so light
That nother aquoyntaunce shame nor loue
My.
She hath deseruid well I know well this
That ye shold remember her interely
Pam.
Shold I remember her O misis misis
Now chrysis wordis of that of glycery
Be writtin in my mynde for when she shold dy
She callid me I cam ye were away

Now chrysis wordis of that of glycery
Be writtin in my mynde for when she shold dy

My pāphilus now here mayst thow note & se
Her bewty & youth ād right well thow dost know
How vnproffitable both the thingis be
