¶ Here entreth Welth, and Helth synging together a balet of two partes, and after speaketh Welth.

Why is there no curtesy, now I am come
I tcowe that all the people be dume
Or els so god helpe me and halydum
They were almost a fleepe. 
  No wordes I harde, nor yet no talking
No instrument went nor ballattes synging
What ayles you all thus to syt dreaming 10
Of whom take ye care? 
  Of my coming ye may be glad
Therefore I pray you be nof sad
For all your desyre shall be had
I can amende your cheare
  By God I thinke ye haue forgotten me
I am welth of this realme looke upon me
For I am to euery man louing and freendly
For welth hath no pere.

+Helth.+ Brother welth haue ye not yet doone? 20 ye prayse your selfe aboue the moone Euery man may perceyue therby soone That you lacke discresyon

+Weith.+ Wherfore, by god I cannot say to much
Iam so welthy of substaunce and rych
In all the worlde where is one such
As I am ofcomparison.

+Helth.+ Welth is good I cannot denay
Yet prayse your selfe so muche ye may
For welth oftentimes doth decay 30
And welth is nothing sure.

  +Welth.+ Welth hath ben euer in this countrey
And here I purpose styll for to be
For this is the lande most mete for me
  And here I wyll endure.

  +Health+ Therin ye speake full louingle
For in this realme welth should be
yeth no displeasure I pray you hartely
But in the way of communicacion. 
  And for pastyme I would speake some wayes 40
Of no comparison, nor to you no dyspayre, I doo not intende that maner alwayes,
But for a recreation,

+Wealth+ Brother what soeuer ye say to me. 
I wyll heare you paciently
I am content and I thanke you hartely
Begyn and say your pleasure

+Health+ I thanke you hartely then wyll I
Some what unto my purpose apply
Though welth be praised marualufly 50
Yet to myne understanding. 
Welth is mutable, and that iu shame
And welth is hauty and proude of name
Welth is cruell, and in great blame
For welth ts euer wauerynge.
