I doubt not bot ȝe understand, How God is Author of this band, And the action that we have in hand, He did himself out set: To that effect all men I meine, Might keip their bodies puir and cleine, From Fornication till abstain, And Children to beget. Bot sen the mater cums athort, Ilk uther day, I will be short, And dois the parties baith exhort, To charity and luif: Taken heir this woman for your wife, Keip, luif and cherisch his but strife, All uther also term of your life, Saif his ȝe shall remuif. Taken for ȝour Spous Philotus than, Obey and luif him as ȝe can, Forsaik for him all uther man, Quhill death do ȝow dissever: The Lord to sanctify and bless ȝow, His grace and favour also I wisch ȝow, Let not his luif and mercy miss ȝow, Bot be with ȝow for ever. Oh mercy God, how may this be? Ȝon is indeed riched Emily, In form of his a faith I sie, Sum Devil hes me desaifit: I will in haist therefore gang hame, Expel ȝon Spreit for sin and shame, And to tell me the awin riched Name, For Gods cause I will craif it. The Croce of God our Saviour sweit, To saif and sane me From that Spreit, That thou nam hap have for to meit, With me in all thy life: In Gods behalf I charge the heir, That thou straik in my heart nam fear, Bot pass thy way and do nam deir, To neither man nor wife. First I conjure the be Sanct Marry, Be Alrisch King and Queen of Fairy, And be the Trinity to tarry, Quhill thou the truth have taull: Be Christ and his Apostilles twell; Be Sanctis of Heuin and hewis of Hell, Be old Sanct Tustian him fell, Be Peter and be Paull. Be Matthew, Mark, be Luik and John, Be Lethe, Stir and Acherone, Be hellish fairies every one, Where Pluto is the Prince: That thou depart and do nam wonder, Be lightning, quhirle wind, hail nor thunder, That beast nor body get nam blunder, Nor harm when thou gais hence. Throw power I charge the of the Paip, Thou neither girn, gowl, glowme, nor gaip, Like Anchor saidell like sell Aip, Like Owl nor Alrische Elf: Like firy Dragon full of fear, Like Warwolf, Lion, Bull nor Beir, Bot pass ȝow hence as thou come heir, In likeness of thy self.
Plot summary
Plot — Philotus
Rejected by Emily, Philotus engages a bawd to help with his wooing. She recounts to Emily the advantages of marrying a rich old man: social position, fashionable clothes, a life of luxury, and the prospect of early widowhood. Emily is more concerned about his sexual performance, but the bawd emphasizes the opportunities she will have to commit adultery. When Emily remains unconvinced, Philotus agrees with her father Alberto that each will marry the other’s daughter. Emily still refuses, so Alberto threatens her with imprisonment on a bread-and-water diet. She asks for time to think it over. Flavius is a suitor more to Emily’s liking. She absconds disguised as a page, but is seen by her father’s servant. Philotus and Alberto search for her, but find her brother Philerno, who has returned home unrecognized. They take him for his cross-dressed sister: Alberto forgives ‘her’ provided that ‘she’ now consents to the marriage. Philotus takes ‘her’ home and lodges ‘her’ with Brisilla, his daughter and Alberto’s fiancée. Brisilla witnesses a miracle: Philerno prays to be turned into a man to evade the marriage, and instantly becomes one. The nuptial day arrives, and Flavius sees Philotus being married to ‘Emily’. Assuming the Emily he has at home to be a devil in human form, he throws her out of the house. Meanwhile, Philerno hires a whore to take - his place on the wedding night, and she demonstrates who is the dominant partner by beating Philotus. Confronted by Alberto and Flavius, he shows’ his bruises and insists that his Emily, not Flavius’, must be the interloping devil. Philerno reveals his true idéntity, and Philotus realizes with horror that the young man has been sleeping with his daughter. Alberto agrees to waive his claim on Brisilla so that she can-marry Philerno. Philotus acknowledges that he is to blame for ===== PAGE 353 ===== 1585 his own misfortunes, for failing to behave like the old man he is.
