INC. Marry, now you are well indeed, Master Lust; This is better, I trow, than the life of the just: They be compelled to possess contentation, Having no treasure but trust of salvation. But my lady your mistress--my mistress, I would say, She worketh, you may see, to keep you from decay. LUST. O, madam, in you is all my delight, And in your brother Pleasure, both day and night. The _Trial of Treasure_ this is indeed, I perceive that she is a true friend at need; For I have proved her, according as Thales doth say, And I perceive that her beauty cannot decay. TREAS. Always with you I will be resident, So that your life shall be most excellent. PLEAS. Yea, sir, and me Pleasure also you shall have, So that none other thing there needeth to crave; I will replenish your heart with delight, And I will be always with Treasure in sight. But if you desire to enjoy me at your will, My sister you must have in reputation still; And then, as her treasure is certain and excellent, My pleasure shall be both perfect and permanent. Credit not those, sir, that talk that and this, Saying that in two consisteth no bliss. But let experience your mind ever move, And see if all men us two do not love. INC. [_aside._] Love? yes, they love you indeed, without a doubt, Which shutteth some of them God's kingdom without. They love you so well, that their God they do hate, As time hath declared to us even of late. But he that on such things his study doth cast, Shall be sure to be deceived at the last. LUST. What dost thou say? INC. Of Treasure, forsooth, ye must ever hold fast, For if you should chance to lose Lady Treasure, Then farewell in post this gentleman Pleasure. LUST. My love to them both cannot be express'd, And especially, my lady, you I love best. TREAS. If you love me, as you do profess, Be sure you shall want no kind of wealthiness. PLEAS. And if you have wealthiness at your own will, Then will I Pleasure remain with you still. INC. [_aside._] You are both as constant as snow in the sun, Which from snow to water through melting doth run; But worldly-wise men cannot conceive that: To hunt for such mice they learn of the cat. LUST. My lady is amorous, and full of favour. INC. [_aside._] I may say to you she hath an ill-favoured savour. LUST. What sayest thou? INC. I say she is loving and of gentle behaviour. TREAS. And so I will continue still, be you sure. PLEAS. And I in like case, while your life doth endure. LUST. Ah trusty Treasure! ah pleasant Pleasure! All wealth I possess now without measure; And seeing that the same shall firmly remain, To help me sing a song will you take the pain? TREAS. Even with all my heart, begin when ye will. INC. [_aside._] To it, and I will either help or stand still.
