POLICY. Devotion to Conscience (I speak now to you, my lord, that are learned) is sorrow for sin, or (in one word) read-- [_Points to the stone of Remorse_. DEVOTION. On this sweating-stone in brass is set _Remorse_. POLICY. And that is your portion; for Conscience is bestowed on London's Pleasure, because London makes o'[286] Conscience what pleasure they use and admit, and what time they bestow therein, and to what end: so, my Lord Devotion, either that or nothing. DEVOTION. A stone is a hard lot, instead of a lady. POLICY. My Lord Delight, that do delight in Love, You must I love for making choice of mine. Love is my portion, and that flint is yours. DELIGHT. Here in lead is written _Charity_: and what of this? POLICY. If you be (as I doubt not) honest Delight in love, then in the best sense you can have but Charity: if you be (which I suspect not) other Delight in love, you must be noted for concupiscence, and that you will blush to be. Well, Charity is your best: then, that is your portion; for, mark ye, London's Policy joins with London's Love, to show that all our policy is for love of London's commonwealth; and so our love cannot be separate from our policy. You hear this? DELIGHT. A flint's a hard change for so fair a wife. POLICY. And thus, lords, Desire of Lucre may take Care; Devotion of Conscience may have Remorse; and Delight of Love may have Charity: other recompense none. PLEASURE. And so we three leave you three with Care, Remorse, and Charity. [_Exeunt_. DESIRE. With Care and Remorse, I swear, ye do leave us; but what Charity I cannot tell. DEVOTION. Well, yet we must use Charity, though we fail of our desire; and we are answered with such reason as is not to be gainsayed. DELIGHT. Indeed, my lord, your calling is to persuade to charity; but if I use patience, it shall be perforce. DEVOTION. Yet being so wisely warn'd, methinks, we should be arm'd, and take this in worth: that the world wonder no further, I will take up my hard burden of Remorse, and be gone. [_Exit_. DESIRE. It is good to follow examples of good. I'll take this heavy burden of Care, and follow as I may. [_Exit_. DELIGHT. Because I'll not be singular, I'll frame myself to follow, taking this cold portion of Charity as my share. [_Exit_. _Enter_ SIMPLICITY _with_ DILIGENCE. SIMPLICITY. Come on, Master Diligence: I have been seeking ye, as a man should seek a load of hay in a needle's eye. DILIGENCE. And why hast thou sought me, I pray thee, so earnestly? SIMPLICITY. Why? For this ointment, these shells, these pictures: do ye not know this _countus mountus cum this da mihi_? DILIGENCE. What money? Why, do I owe thee any money?
