That your selfe can iudge nother for perciall For indifferent ende I thinke this way best Of all our reasoning to debarre the rest And in these two cases this one question To be the issue that we shal ioyne on No louer nor loued Be it so Louer loued Nowe are these issues cowched so nie That both sides I trust shall take ende shortly Louer not loued I hope and desire the same and syns we were fyrst harde we both humbly beseche ye That we in like wise maye haue iudgement fursâ— Louer loued I graunt No louer nor loued By the masse and I come best or wurst Louer loued Though nature force man styfâ—y to encline To his owne parte in ech particuler thing yet reason wolde man whan man shal determine Other mens partes by indifferent awarding Indifferent to be in al his reasoning wherfore in this parte cut out of affecâ—ion So that indifferency be direcâ—ion No louer nor loued Contented with that and by ought I espy we may in this mater take ende quickly Stan we theyr cases as she did apply them That we may perceiue what is ment by them He loueth vnloued a goodly one She is loued not louinge of an vgly one Or in his eye his louer semeth goodly And in her eye her lober semeth as vgly Her most desyred angels face he can not see His most lothely hell houndes face she can not flee He loueth she abhorreth wherby presens is His life her deth â–ª wherby I say euen this Be his feling paines in euery degre As great and as many as he sayth they be yet in my iudgement by these cases hath she As great and as many feling paines as he Louer loued When mater at full is indifferently leyd As ye in this iugement haue leyd this nowe what reason the tyme by me shulde be deleyd ye haue spoken my thought wherfore to you In peysing your paines my consciens doth alowe A iust counterpaâ—se and thus your paynes be A iudged by vs twaine one paine in degre Louer not loued Well sins your conscyens driueth you thus to iudge I receiue this iudgement without grefe or grudge Loued not louing And I in like rate yelding vnto you twaine Harty thankes for this your vndeseruid paine Louer not loued Nowe maisters may it please you to declare As touching their partes of what minde ye are Loued not louinge With right good will sir and sure I suppose Their partes in fewe wordes mate come to pointe well The two examples which he did disclose All errours or doubtes do clerly expell The estate of a tre his estate doth tell And of the hors his tale wel vnderstande Declareth as well his case nowe in hande For as nothing can please or displease a tre By ani pleasure or displeasue feling Nor neuer bring a tre discontent to be So like case to him not loued nor louing Loue can no way bring pleasing or displeasing Liue women die women â—inke women or swim In all he content for al is one to him And as a horse hath mani painefull â—orneis A louer best loued hath paines in like wise As here hath apered by sondry weys which sheweth his case in wurst part to rise But then as the horse feleth pleasure in sise At night in the stable aboue the tre So feleth he some pleasure as farre aboue ye In some case he feleth much more pleasure then he And in some case he feleth euen as muchelesse Betwene the more and the lesse it semeth to me That betwene their pleasures no choise is to gesse Wherfore I giue iudgement in short processe Set the tone pleasure euiu to the tother No louer nor loued Womanly spoken maistres by the roodes mother Louer not loued Who heareth this tale wyth in different minde And seeth of these twaine eche one so full bent To his owne parte that nother in harte can finde To chaunge pleasures with other must nedes assent That she in these wordes hath gyuen ryght iudgement In affirmance wherof I iudge and awarde Both these pleasures of yours as one in regarde Louer loued wel syns I thinke ye both without corrupcion I shall moue no mater of interrupcion No louer nor loued Nor I but maysters though I say nought in this May I not thinke my pleasure more than his Loued not louing Affeccion vnbridled may make vs al thynke That eche of vs hath done other wronge But where reason taketh place it can not sinke Syns cause to be percial here is none vs amonge That one hed that wolde thinke his owne wit so strong That on his iudges he myght iudgement deuise what iudge in so iudging coulde iudge hym wyse Louer loued well myne estate ryght wel contenteth me No louer nor loued And I with myne as well content as ye Louer not loued So shulde ye both likewise be contented Eche other to see content in such degree As on your partes our iugement hath awarded your neyghbour in pleasure lyke your selfe to be Gladly to wishe Christes precept doth byndeye Thus contentacion shulde alway prefer One man to ioy the pleasure of an other Louer loued True and contencion may be in like case All though no helth yet helpe and greate relefe In both your paynes for ye hauing such grace To be contented in sufferaunce of grefe Shall by contentacion auoide much myschiefe Such as the contraâ—y shall suerly bring you Payne to paine as paineful as your paine is nowe Thus not we foure but al the worlde beside Knowledge them selfe or other in ioy or payne Hath nede of contentacion for a gyde Hauinge ioy or payne content let vs remayne In ioy or payne of other flee we disdaine Be we content welth or woo and eche for other Reioyse in the tone and pyte the tother Louer not loued Syns such contencion may hardly acorde In such kynde of loue as here hath ben ment Let vs seke the loue of that louyng lorde who to suffer passion for loue was content wherby his louers that loue for loue assent Shall haue in fyne aboue contentacyon The felyng pleasure of eternall saluacyon which lorde of lordes whose ioyfull and blessed byrth Is now remembred by tyme presentyng This accustomyd tyme of honest myrth That lorde we beseche in most humble meanyng That it may please hym by mercyfull hearyng Thestate of this audyens longe to endure In myrth helth and welth to graunt his pleasure AMEN Prynted by w.

A play of loue ¶ A newe and a mery enterlude concernyng pleasure and payne in loue made by JhonÌ„ Heywood ' The players names ' A man a louer not beloued A woman beloued not louyng A man a louer and beloued The vyse nother louer nor beloued SAM PEPYS CAR ET LAC ANGâ— REGâ—â— A SECRETIS ADMIRALIAE Mens cujusque is est Quisque The louer not beloued LO syr who so that loketh here for curtesy And seth me seme as one pretendyng none But as vnthought vppon thus sodenly Approcheth the myddys amonge you euery chone And of you all seyth nought to any one May thynke me rewde perceyuyng of what sorte ye seme to be and of what stately porte But I beseche you in most humble wyse To omytte dyspleasure and pardon me My maner is to muse and to deuyse So that some tyme my selfe may cary me My selfe knowyth not where and I asure ye So hath my selfe done nowe for our lorde wot where I am or what ye be I knowe not Or whence I cam or whyther I shall All this in maner as vnknowen to me But euyn as fortune guydeth my fote to fale So wander I yet where so euer I be And whom oâ— howe many so euer I se As one person to me is euery chone So euery place to me but as one And for that one persone euery place seke I which one ones founde I fynde of all the rest Not one myssyng and in the contrary That one absent though that there were here prest All the creatures lyuyng most and lest yet lackyng her I shulde and euer shall Be as alone syns she to me is all And alone is she without comparyson Consernyng the gyftys gyuyn by nature In fauour fayrnes and porte as of person No lyfe beryth the lyke of that creature Nor no tonge can attayne to put in vre Her to dyscryue for howe can wordes expres That thyng the full wherof no thought can ges And as it is thyng inesty mable To make reporte of her bewty fully So is my loue to warde her vnable To be reportyd as who seyth ryghtly For my soole seruyce and loue to that lady Is gyuen vnder such haboundant fashyon That no tonge therof can make ryght relashyon wherin I suppose this well supposed Unto you all that syns she perceyuyng As much of my loue as can be dysclosed Euyn of very ryght in recompensyng She ought for my loue agayne to be louyng For what more ryght to graunt when loue loue requireth Then loue for loue when loue nought els desyreth But euyn as farre wurs as otherwyse then so Stande I in case in maner desperate No tyme can tyme my sewt to ease my wo Before none to erely and all tymes els to late Thus tyme out of tyme mystymeth my rate For tyme to bryng tyme to hope of any grace That tyme tymyth no tyme in any tyme or place wherby tyll tyme haue tyme so farre extyncte That deth may determyne my lyfe thus dedly No tyme can I reste alas I am so lyncte To greues both so greate and also many That by the same I say and wyll veryfy Of all paynes the moste incomparable payne Is to be a louer not louyd agayne The woman belouyd not louyng entreth Belouyd not louyng Syr as touchyng those wordes of comparyson whiche ye haue seyd and wolde seme to veryfye If it may please you to stande therupon Hearyng and answeryng me pacyently I doubt not by the same incontynently your selfe to see by wordes that shall ensue The contrary of your wordes veryfyed for true Louer not loued Fayre lady pleasyth it you to repayrenere And in this cause to shewe cause reasonable wherby cause of reformacyon may appere Of reason I muste and wylbe reformable Louyd not louyng well syns ye pretende to be confyrmable To reason in auoydyng circumstaunce Brefely by reason I shall the truthe auaunce ye be a louer no whyt louyd agayne And I am louyd of whom I loue nothyng Then standyth our question betwene these twayne Of louyng not louyd or louyd not louyng which is the case moste paynfull in sufferyng wherto I saye that the moste payne doth moue To those belouyd of whome they can not loue Louer not louyd Those wordes approued lo myght make a chaunge Of myne opinion but verely The case as ye put it I thynke more straunge Then true for though the belouyd party Can not loue agayne yet possybly Can I not thynke nor I thynke neuer shall That to be louyd can be any payne at all Belouyd not louyng That reason perceyuyd and receyuyd for trouth From proper comparyson sholde clere confounde me Betwene payne no payne no such comparyson growth Then or I can on comparyson grounde me To proue my case paynefull ye haue fyrst bounde me To which syns ye dryue me by your denyall Marke what ensueth before ferther tryall I saye I am louyd of a certayne man whom for no sewt I can fauour agayne And that haue I tolde hym syns his sewt began A thousand tymes but euery tyme in vayne For neuer seaseth his tonge to complayne And euer one tale whiche I neuer can flee For euer in maner where I am is he Nowe if you to here one thyng euery where Contrary to your appetyte sholde be led were it but a mouse lo sholde pepe in your ere Or alway to harpe on a crust of bred Howe coulde you lyke such harpyng at your hed Louyng not louyd Somewhat dyspleasaunt it were I not deny Louyd not louyng Then somewhat payneful as well seyd say I Dyspleasure and payne be thynges ioyntly anexâ— For as it is dyspleasaunt in payne to be So it is paynefull in dyspleasure to be vext Thus by dyspleasure in payne ye confes me wherby syns ye part of my payne do see In my ferther payne I shall nowe declare That payne by whyche with your payne I compare Smale were the quantyte of my paynfull smerte yf hys iangelynge percyd no further then myne erys But thorough myne erys dyrectly to myne harte percyth his wordys euyn lyke as many sperys By whyche I haue spent so many and suche terys That were they all red as they be all whyte The blood of my harte had be gone or thys quyte And almoste in case as though it were gone Am I except hys sewt take end shortely For it doth lyke me euyn lyke as one Shold offer me seruyce most humbly wyth an axe in hys hande contynually Besechynge me gentylly that thys myght be sped To graunte hym my good wyll to stryke of my hed I alledge for generall thys one symylytude Auoydyng rehersale of paynes partyculer To abreueate the tyme and to exclude Surplusage of wordes in thys our mater By whyche ensaumple yf ye consydere Ryghtly my case at lest wyse ye may see My payne as paynfull as your payne can bee And yet for shorter end put case that your payne were oft tymes more sharpe and sore in degre Then myne ys at
