LUST. She is called Treasure.[324] O, my heart is on fire, till she come in place. INC. O Master Lust, she hath an amiable face;[325] A tricker, a trimmer, in faith that she is, The goddess of wealth, prosperity, and bliss. LUST. But think you that this minion long endure shall? INC. For ever and ever, man, she is immortal. There be many other; but she exceedeth them all. LUST. What be they, have you their names in store? INC. Yea, hark, in your ear [_whispers_], and many other more. LUST. Sith that the apple of Paris before me is cast, And that I may deliver the same where I will, I would Prometheus were here to help me hold fast, That I might have a fore-wit with me ever still. Pallas, I consider, in science hath skill, But Juno and Venus good will do I bear; Therefore to give the apple I know not where. INC. Be counsell'd by me, and give it Lady Treasure. It shall be for your commodity in the end without measure, For having the company of this minion lass, You shall never want the society of Pallas; Juno, nor yet the armipotent Mars, Can not resist your strength, be they never so fierce; And as for Venus, you shall have [her] at pleasure, For she is bought and sold always with Treasure; She of her power hath whole countries conquered, The most noble champions by her hath been murthered; Acon for her sake was stoned to death. Tush, innumerable at this day spend their breath, Some hang or be hanged, they love her so well, She is the great goddess, it is true that I tell. LUST. Which way should I work of her to have a sight? INC. I, Inclination, will lead you thither right; But we must have Greedy-gut and also Elation. LUST. They are at the house of Carnal Cogitation. INC. Whither I would wish that we might depart; I will lead you thither with all my heart. _Enter_ JUST, TRUST, _and_ CONTENTATION. TRUST, _a woman plainly [apparelled,] and_ CONTENTATION _kneel down and sing, she have a crown_. _So happy is the state of those That walk upright and just, That thou, Lord, dost thy face disclose By perfect hope and trust. Their inclination thou dost stay, And sendeth them Sapience, That they should serve, and eke obey, Thy high magnificence. And sendest Contentation, That we in thee may rest. Therefore all adoration To thee pertaineth best._ JUST. God careth for his, as the prophet doth say, And preserveth them under his merciful wings; Namely the just, that his will do obey, Observing his holy commandment in all things; Not for our sake or for our deservings, But for his own sake openly to declare, That all men on earth ought to live in his fear.
