Besse. A S I went to Walsingham, to the shrine with speed, Met I with a jolly Palmer, in a Pilgrims weede. Now God you save you jolly Palmer. Fran. Welcome Lady gay, Oft have I sued to thee for love. B. Oft have I said you nay. F. My love is fixed. B . And so is mine, but not on you: For to my husband whilst I live, I will ever be true. F . Ile give thee gold and rich array. B . Which I shall buy too deare. F . Nought shalt thou want: then say not nay. B. Naught would you make mee I feare. What though you be a Gentleman, and have lands great store? I will be chaste doe what you can, though I live ne're so poore. F . Thy beauty rare hath wounded mee, and pierst my heart. B. Your foolish love doth trouble mee, pray you Sir depart. F. Then tel mee sweet wilt thou consent unto my desire: B. And if I should, then tel me sir, what is it you require? F . For to injoy thee as my love. B . Sir you have a wife: Therefore let your sute have an end. F. First will I lose my life. All I have thou shalt commaund. B. Then my love you have. F. Your meaning I well understand. B. I yeeld to what you crave. F . But tel mee sweet when shall I enjoy my hearts delight. B. I prethee sweete heart be not coy, even soone at night.
My husband is rid ten miles from home, money to receive: In the evening see you come. F. Til then I take my leave. Exit: B. Thus have I rid my hands full well of my amorous love, And my sweet husband wil I tell, how hee doth me move. Enter Richard Besses husband. To the tune of the Jewish dance. Rich. Hey doune a doune, hey doune, a doune a doune, There is never a lusty Farmer, in all our towne: That hath more cause, to lead a merry life, Then I that am married to an honest faithfull wife. B. I thanke you gentle husband, you praise mee to my face. R. I cry thee mercy, Bessee, I knew thee not in place. B. Beleeve me gentle husband, if you knew as much as I, The words that you have spoken, you quickly would deny: For since you went from home, A sutor I have had, Who is so farre in love with mee, that he is almost madde. Heele give me gold and silver store, and money for to spend, And I have promis'd him therefore, to be his loving friend. R. Beleeve me, gentle wife, but this makes mee to frowne, There is no gentleman nor knight, nor Lord of high renowne: That shall enjoy thy love, gyrle, though he were ne're so good: Before he wrong my Bessee so,
Ile spend on him my blood. And therefore tell me who it is that doth desire thy love. B. Our neighbour master Francis, that often did me move. To whom I gave consent, his mind for to fulfill, And promis'd him this night, that he should have his will: Nay doe not frowne, good Dickie, but heare me speake my minde: For thou shalt see Ile warrant thee, Ile use him in his kind. For unto thee I will be true, so long as I doe live, Ile never change thee for a new, nor once my mind so give. Goe you to mistrisse Frauncis, and this to her declare: And will her with all speed, to my house to repaire: Where shee and ile devise some pretty knavish wile: For I have layd the plot, her husband to beguile. Make hast I pray and tarry not, for long he will not stay. R. Feare not, ile tell her such a tale, shall make her come away. B. Now Besse bethinke thee, what thou hast to doe. Thy lover will come presently, and hardly will he woo: I will teach my Gentleman, a tricke that he may know, I am too craftie and too wise, to be ore-reached so: But heere he comes now: not a word but fall to worke againe. she sowes F. How now sweetheart, at worke so hard? B. I sir, I must take paines. F. But say, my lovely sweeting, thy promise wilt thou keepe? Shall I enjoy thy love, this night with me to sleepe? B. My husbannd rid from home, heere safely may you stay. F. And I have made my wife beleeve I rid another way. B. Goe in good sir, what ere betide, this night and lodge with mee. F. The happiest night that ever I had, thy friend still will I bee.

W I Thanke you neighbour Richard, for bringing me this newes: R. Nay, thanke my wife that loves me so, and will not you abuse. W. But see whereas shee stands, and waiteth our return. R. You must goe coole your husbands heate, that so in love doth burne. B. Now Dickie welcome home, and Mistris welcome hither: Grieve not although you finde your husband and I together. For you shall have your right, nor will I wrong you so: Then change apparrell with me straight, and unto him doe goe. W. For this your kind goodwill, a thousand thankes I give: And make account I will requite this kindnesse, if I live. B. I hope it shall not need, Dick will not serve me so: I know he loves me not so ill, a ranging for to goe. R. No faith, my lovely Besse, first will I lose my life: Before Ile breake my wedlock bonds, or seeke to wrong my wife. Now thinks good Master Frauncis, he hath thee in his bed: And makes account he is grafting of hornes upon my head. But softly stand aside, now shall wee know his minde, And how hee would have used thee, if thou hadst beene so kind. Enter Master Francis with his owne wife, having a maske before her face, supposing her to be Besse. To the tune of goe from my window. F. Farewell my joy and hearts delight, til next wee meete againe: Thy kindnes to requite, for lodging me al night, heeres ten pound for thy paine: And more to show my love to thee, weare this ring for my sake. W. Without your gold or fee you shal have more of mee. F. No doubt of that I make. W. Then let your love continue still. F. It shall til life doth end. W. Your wife I greatly feare. F. for her thou needst not care so I remaine thy freind. W. But youle suspect me without cause, that I am false to you: And then youle cast me off, and make mee but a scoffe, since that I prove untrue. F. Then never trust man for my sake, if I prove so unkind: So often have you sworn, sir, since that you were borne, and soone have changde your minde.
Nor wife nor life, nor goods nor lands, shall make me leave my love, Nor any worldly treasure make me forgoe my pleasure, nor once my mind remove. W. But soft a while, who is yonder? do you see my husband? out allase. F. And yonder is my wife, now shal we have alife how commeth this to passe? R. Com hither gentle Besse I charge thee do confesse what makes Master Francis heere. B. Good husband pardon me, Ile tel the troth to thee. R. Then speake and doe not feare. F. Nay, neighbour Richard harke to mee, Ile tel the troth to you. W. Nay tell it unto me, good sir, that I may see, what you have here to doe. But you can make no scuse to colour this abuse, this wrong is too too great. R. Good sir I take great scorne you should profer me the horne W. Now must I coole this heate. F. Nay neighbour Richard be content, thou hast no wrong at all: Thy wife hath done thee right, and pleasurde me this night. F. This frets mee to the gall. Good wife forgive me this offence, I doe repent mine ill. W. I thank you with mine hart, for playing this kind part, though sore against your will. Nay gentle husband frowne not so, for you have made amends: I think it is good gaine, to have ten pound for my paine: then let us both be friends. F. Ashamed I am and know not what to say, good wife forgive this crime: Alasse I doe repent. W. Tut I could be content, to be served so many a time. F. Good neighbour Richard be content, ile woo thy wife no more: I have enough of this. W. Then all forgiven is, I thanke thee Dick therefore. And to thy wife ile give this gold, I hope youle not say no: Since I have had the pleasure, let her enjoy the treasure. F. Good wife let it be so. B. I thank you gentle Mistris. R. Faith & so do I. sir, learne your owne wife to know: And shoote not in the darke, for feare you mis the marke. B. He hath paid for this I trow. All women learn of me. F. All men by me take heed how you a woman trust. W. Nay women trust no men. F. And if they do: how then? W. Ther's few of them proove just. Farewell neighbour Richard, farewell honest Besse I hope wee are all friends. W. And if you stay at home, and use not thus to rome heere all our quarrell ends.
