Here pamphilus & dauus stande in a corner a while.
Carinus
pamphilus dauus.
Is this credable or prayse worthy
A man of soch vnnaturall dispocycyon to be
That for other mennis hurtes to be glad and myry
And of other mens lossis that he
Shall make his owen proffet And comodyte
O Is this properte good And naturall
Nay nay It is the worst thyng of All.
which haue but a litille shame to deny a thing
But after when tyme is theyre promyse to fulfyll
Then lo necessite theym constraynyng
They opyn theym self yet fere they A lytill



C.
yet the thing costraynyth theym to deny it still
Then theyre sayeng is the most shamfull that can be
why what art thow what art thow to me
why woldist thow haue my wyfe hark euery mā
Is for hym self/but where is theyre fydelyte
If one ask theym they shame not than
And when no nede is aferd they be
And where nede is nothing for suerte
But what shall I do shall I not to hym go
To compleyn of this wrong now done to me
And ley to his charge many thingis mo
yet some will say it shall not auayle me
yet greue him I shall And at the lest way
Ease my mynd on hym.

A nother wey now will we assay.
Except thow think because this did prospere
But very lytle at the begynnyng
That nothing now can remedy this gere

P.

for onne wedding thow wilt make me twayn

D.

In perell of my lyfe alwey to go
To prophet the in all that euer I may
And forthermore it is thy parte alway
yf ought happen other than we trust fore
Or com not to pas as I do puruey


Syth I do my best me to forgyue euermore
Or ells do it thy self/but yet haue I
Found a nother way therfore now me suffer
