¶Whither shall I go, or which way shall I take, To find a Christian constant and joust, Each man himself a Christian would make. Yet few or none, that a man may trust. But for the most part feigned, inclined to lust. As to insatiable couetousenesse, most abominable, Or some other vice, most vile and detestable. It is well known, what rigour does reign, In that cruel tiger, my Landlord Greediness: Who in my house, would not let me remain, But hath thrust me out, with spiteful speediness. Having no respect, to my naked neediness, But altogether, regarding his gain, Hath bereaved my living from me, to my pain. What neighbourhood is, may also be seen, My neighbour supposed, is my deadly foe: What cruel chance, Like to mine hath been, Both my house and living, I must now forgo. What neighbour is he, that hath served me so? Thus cruelly to take my house, over my head, Wherein these forty years, I have be harboured and And now being aged, must thus be thrust out, With mine impotent wife, charge, and family: Now how I shall live, I stand in great doubt, Leading and ending, my life in misery. But better do so, then as they live, by Thee very, Catching and snatching, all that ever they can, Because that (say they) Tide tarrieth no Man. But God grant that they, in following that Tide, Lose not the tied of Gods mercy and grace: I doubt that from them, away it will slide, If they still pursue the contrary raze. As daily they do, Gods laws to deface, To their own souls hurt, and to their neighbours damage. Still following the instructions, of cursed Courage. I see whom I seek, is not here to be found, I mean Christianity, constant and joust: I doubt that in bondage he lies fast bound, Or else he is dead, and lies buried in dust. But if he be living, to find him I trust, Therefore till I find him, I will no where stay, Neither in seeking of him, I will make delay.
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.
