Plot summary
Plot — Impatient Poverty
Persuaded by Peace to embrace reason, charity, and clean living, the debtor Impatient Poverty becomes Prosperity. Conscience rebukes Abundance for his usury and unethical mercantile practices, but is persuaded by Envy to go into exile in the belief that his public office has been taken over by Covetise and that he is himself in danger of execution. Envy conspires with Misrule to lead Prosperity into a dissolute life. He gambles away all his money and becomes Poverty once more. Poverty is summoned to face a charge of slander and is forced to do public penance because he cannot afford to bribe the corrupt summoner. Peace points out the abuse whereby Abundance, in contrast, has been allowed to buy his way out of an adultery charge. Poverty is reconciled to Peace, who points out how important it is to avoid bad company and acknowledge mutability and the vanity of worldly possessions.
