_Man._ I say, sirs! where is Worship, can ye tell? In this place I left him last. _Wor. Aff._ Sir, I warrant you he is occupied well In ordaining your garments, full fast; He departed from me in great haste For that intent; and so he desired That I would tell you when need required. He showed me his mind or he went; How he had devised your garment; And, if it be made after that intent, As he told me, When ye wear on that vestour Every man shall do your honour, As becometh a man of your haviour; And so it should be. _Man._ Yea, but what will Reason say When he seeth me in that array? _Wor. Aff._ Reason? Marry! let him go play To the devil of hell: Ye promised me, at the beginning, That ye would no more be under his guiding. _Man._ No! but yet it were according To have therein his counsel; Man, without Reason, is but blind; And, if I should speak after my mind, I can well a difference find Betwixt man and a beast When he hath Reason in presence, And duly obeyeth his law and sentence. _Wor. Aff._ Why have ye such a spiced conscience Now, within your breast, That changeth your mind so suddenly? I am sorry and ashamed, truly, On your behalf! _Man._ No force, hardely! Thou leadest me all wrong; And, therefore, will I no more follow thee. _Wor. Aff._ Not Worldly Affection? _Man._ No, parde! Nor yet thy brother Sensuality: I have followed you too long. _Wor. Aff._ Is that your mind? _Man._ Yea, doubtless! And now will I seek Shamefacedness, By whom I trust I shall redress All my misdeed. _Wor. Aff._ And, sith thou wilt needs to Shame bow, I pray God send thee shame enow. And yet I trust, make God avow! Once thou shalt have need To call me again to thy service. _Man._ Nay, nay, on warrantise! Now, sirs! who can me advise What is best to do? [_Enter_ SHAMEFACEDNESS.] _Shame._ Sir! if ye lust to have mine acquaintance I am ready to give you attendance; Happily my service shall you advance: I am called Shamefacedness. _Man._ By your troth! are ye the same? _Shame._ Yea, forsooth! that is my name. Almsdeeds I can atame; And help for to repress When ye have done offence or sin; If ye will mercy and grace win With Shamefacedness ye must begin: This way must ye take. _Man._ Ye be the man, without feigning, That I wished for or ye came here; And glad am I now of your coming, Praying you with heart entire When I have need thus to come near. _Shame._ So will I do; ye may trust it, verily! Whensoever ye call ye shall find me ready. _He goeth out_ [_and_ REASON _cometh forward_.] _Rea._ Sir! is it your mind to do as ye say?
