But your own secret conscience shall then give an audit. All you that be young, whom I do now represent, Set your delight both day and night on Christ's Testament: If pleasure you tickle, be not fickle, and suddenly slide, But in God's fear everywhere see that you abide: In your tender age seek for knowledge, and after wisdom run, And in your old age teach your family to do as you have done: Your bodies subdue unto virtue, delight not in vanity; Say not, I am young, I shall live long, lest your days shortened be: Do not incline to spend your time in wanton toys and nice, For idleness doth increase much wickedness and vice: Do not delay the time, and say, my end is not near; For with short warning the Lord coming shall suddenly appear. God give us grace, his word to embrace, and to live thereafter, That by the same his holy name may be praised ever. GOOD COUNSEL. Now let us make our supplications together For the prosperous estate of our noble and virtuous king,[171] That in his godly proceedings he may still persevere, Which seeketh the glory of God above all other thing: O Lord, endue his heart with true understanding, And give him a prosperous life long over us to reign, To govern and rule his people as a worthy captain. JUVENTUS. Also let us pray for all the nobility of this realm; And, namely, for those whom his[172] grace hath authorised To maintain the public wealth over us and them, That they may see his gracious acts published; And that they, being truly admonished By the complaint of them which are wrongfully oppressed, May seek reformation, and see it redressed. GOOD COUNSEL. Then shall this land enjoy great quietness and rest: And give unto God most hearty thanks therefore, To whom be honour, praise, and glory for evermore.[173] JACK JUGGLER.
