Full speech
¶What infidelity in him does rest, Who no time forbeareth to take his pray: Most Like the greedy or savage beast, Who in creuelty rages both night and day. Might he not the space of one Sermon stay, What care or mind gave he to Gods word, Who at preaching thereof did me so disturb. Is the Sabbath day, and Pauls Cross, A time and place to vex thy debtor? Or hast thou Greediness by me had any lose? Nay by me thou art a hundredth pound the better, I speak of the least and not of the greater. Yet I never denied, my debt for to pay, But in deed I required a longer day. ¶No haste but good, stay yet a while, Or else take the pain with me for to walk: About the quantity of half a mile, With a friend of mine, that I might talk. ¶I mean to please no Sergeant so, I am no customer for your diet. But since to go, you do not intend, You must take pains here to tarry with me: Until for a friend of mine I do send, Which I trust shortly my bail will be. ¶And what wilt thou ask, with me here to stay At one word let me that understand. ¶That will I do with a right good will, Rather then so much thou shalt get I will not so much thy mind fulfil, If that my heart, my hand may let. ¶Well, wherefore now do we stay, I am ready hence to go.
Plot summary
Plot — The Tide Tarrieth No Man
Courage advises a variety of characters to embrace short-term gain, since the tide waits for nobody: he encourages Greediness to ignore spiritual advice, helps No Good Neighbourhood to acquire a neighbour's house unjustly through bribery, recommends Willingto-Win-Worship to get into debt rather than leave the court and his ambitions, and advises Wantonness to get married against her mother's wishes. The results are bad: Willing-to-Win-Worship finds himself worse off than before; Greediness's tenant, No-GoodNeighbourhood's rival, is evicted and left homeless in his old age; Greediness oppress~:s his debtors, one of whom is arrested at a sermon; and Wantonness marries Wastefulness. Christianity is corrupted by riches and policy, and Greediness dies in despair. Despair encourages Wastefulness, who has spent all his money, to commit suicide, but Faithful Few saves him through prayer. Finally Authority intervenes, Courage is arrested by Correction, and Christianity is reformed.
