I a Iudge of grounded yeeres shall reape to me such name As shall resounde dishonour great with Trump of carelesse fame Oh that my yeeres were youthfull yet or that I were vnweded ¶ Here entreth Haphazard WHy cease sir Knight for why perhaps of you she shal be bedded For folow my counsell so may you me please That of carefull resurging your hart shall haue ease Apius Oh thundring Gods that threaten yre and Plague for eche offence Your selues I déeme would counsell craue in this so fit pretence And eke your nimble stretched armes with great rewards would she To purchase farie Virginia so deare a wight to me And friend I sweare by Iubiter and eke by Iunos seate And eke by all the misteries where on thou canst intreate Thou shalt possesse and haue I will thée graunt and geue The

To hap or to hazard what thing shall enuade me I King and I Keyser I rule and ouerwhealme I do what it please me with in this my realme Wherfore in thy indgement see that thou do enter Hap life or hap death I surely will venter Haphazard Then this and in this sorte standeth the matter What neede many wordes vnlesse I should flatter Full many there be will hazard their life Happely to case your grace of all your strife Of this kinde of conspirasie now let vs common Some man Virginius before you must summon And say that Virginia is none of his Daughter But that Virginius by night away caught her Then charge you the father his Daughter to bringe Then do you detayne hir till proued be the thing Which well you may win hir she present in house It is but Haphazarde a man or a mouse Apius I finde it I minde it I sweare that I will Though shame or defame do happen no skill Here let him make at though he went out and let Consince and lustice come out of him and let Consiéce hold in his hande a Lamp burning and let Iustice haue a sworde and hold it before Apius But out I am wounded how am I deuided Two states of my life from me are now glided For Consience he pricketh me contempned And Iustice saith Iudgement wold haue me condemned Consience saith crueltye sure will detest me And Iustice saith death in th ende will molest me And both in one sodden me thinkes they do crie That fier eternall my soule shall destroy Haphazard Why these are but thoughts man why fie for shame fie For Consience was carelesse and sayling by seas Was browned in a basket and had a disease Sore mooued for pitye when he would graunt none For beyng hard harted was turned to a stone And sayliing by Sandwitche he sunke for his sin Then care not for consience the worth of a pin And Iudgement iudge Iustice to haue a reward For iudging still iustly but all is now marde For giftes they are geuen wher Iudgement is none Thus Iudgement and Iustice a wronge way hath gone Then care not for

Iustice Ah gift of Ioue ah Fortunes face Ah state of steddy life I Iustice am and Prime of péeres The end of Lawes and strife A guider of the common weale A gwerdon to the poore And yet hath filthy lust supprest My vertues in one houre Well well this is the most to trust In ende we shall espire To see the end of these our foes With sword and eke with fire Conscience Oh help ye Gods we members require Exit ¶ Enter Haphazard When gayne is no gransier And gaudes naught set by Nor Puddings nor Pie meate Poore knaues will come nie Then hap and Haphazard Shall haue a new cote And so it may happen To cut couetousnesse throte Yea then shall Iudge Apius Virginia obtayne And Geese shall cracke Mussels Perhaps in the rayne Lerkes shal be Leuerets And skip to and fro And chourles shal be
