_Lyb._ With, ye mary, syrs, thus sholde it be. 2090 I kyst her swete, and she kyssyd me; I daunsed the darlynge on my kne; I garde her gaspe, I garde her gle, With, daunce on the le, the le! I bassed that baby with harte so free; She is the bote of all my bale:[856] A, so, that syghe was farre fet! To loue that louesome I wyll not let; My harte is holly on her set: I plucked her by the patlet; 2100 At my deuyse I with her met; My fansy fayrly on her I set; So merely syngeth the nyghtyngale! In lust and lykynge my name is Lyberte: I am desyred with hyghest and lowest degre; I lyue as me lyst, I lepe out at large; Of erthely thynge I haue no care nor charge; I am presydent of prynces, I prycke them with pryde:[857] What is he lyuynge that lyberte wolde lacke? A thousande pounde with lyberte may holde no tacke; 2110 At lyberte a man may be bolde for to brake; Welthe without lyberte gothe all to wrake. But yet, syrs, hardely one thynge lerne of me: I warne you beware of to moche lyberte, For _totum in toto_ is not worth an hawe; To hardy, or to moche, to free of the dawe; To sober, to sad, to subtell, to wyse; To mery, to mad, to gyglynge, to nyse; To full of fansyes, to lordly, to prowde; To homly, to holy, to lewde, and to lowde; 2120 To flatterynge, to smatterynge, to to out of harre; To claterynge, to chaterynge, to shorte, and to farre; To iettynge, to iaggynge, and to full of iapes; To mockynge, to mowynge, to lyke a iackenapes: Thus _totum in toto_ groweth vp, as ye may se, By meanes of madnesse, and to moche lyberte; For I am a vertue, yf I be well vsed, And I am a vyce where I am abused. _Magn._ A, woo worthe thé, Lyberte, nowe thou sayst full trewe! That I vsed thé to moche, sore may I rewe. 2130 _Lyb._ What, a very vengeaunce, I say, who is that? What brothell, I say, is yonder bounde in a mat? _Magn._ I am Magnyfycence, that somtyme thy mayster was.
