I beseech you good M. Dissimulation, befreend a poor man, To serve Lady Lucar and lu e sir. isle consider hereafter if I can. Good M. Dissimulatten help me, I am almost quite undone, But yet my living hitherto with Conscience I have won, But my true working, my Can lie ti king and my late going to bed, Is scant able to find myself, wife and children dry break For there be such a sort of strangers in this country. That work fine to please the eye, though it be deceitfully, And that which is sleight, and seems to the eye well, Shall sooner than a piece of good work be proffered to fell, And our Englishmen be grow e so foolish and nice, That they will not give a penny abour the ordinary price. I beseech you be good unto me right honest Gentleman. That my estate you will so much prefar, As to get me to be a workman to Lady Lucar: And sir I doubt not but to please you so well for your pain, That you shall think very well of if I in her service remain. Yes r I will S r, of that be you sure, I'll honour your name while life does end e. Good M. Fraud remember me. Good M. Dissimulation think on me. Come after dinner, or some other time indeed, For full little do they think of a poor men needs: These fellows will do nothing for pity and love, And thrice happy are they that hath no needs them to prove. God he knows the world is grown to such a stay, That men must use Fraud and Dissimulation too, or beg by the way. Therefore isle do as the most does, the fewest shall laugh me to scorn, And be a fellow amongst good fellows to hold by S. Lukes horn.
Plot summary
Plot — The Three Ladies of London
Lady Love and Lady Conscience are concerned that Lady Lucre now rules in London, but Fame assures them that she and her adherents will meet their due punishment in the end. Four knaves and Simplicity, a penurious miller, go to London in the hope of employment by one of the ladies. Conscience rejects their applications, but Love agrees to take on Simplicity; the knaves find positions in Lucre’s household. Out of work because foreigners have taken all the jobs, Artifex also seeks a place with Lucre. Simplicity procures a testimonial from Conscience for his cousin Sincerity, who seeks a benefice; but he is unable to get anything from Simony because he has no bribe to offer. Dissimulation fobs him off with the parsonage of St Nihil — nothing - and an invitation to dine with Nemo — nobody — is likewise worthless (though Simplicity has _ difficulty understanding this). Simony employs Sir Peter Pleaseman, who can be either Protestant or Catholic as it suits his circumstances, as Lucre’s chaplain. Conscience is forced to sell her cottage to Lucre, but hopes to stay on as a sitting tenant. Usury threatens eviction; there is a proposal to pack the house with foreigners who will require less living space than English tenants. Eventually he relents and quadruples the rent instead. Love and Conscience are reduced to sending Usury their clothes in lieu of payment, but Dissimulation gives Simplicity money to redeem one of the gowns. He intended it to be Love’s, since he cares nothing for Conscience, but Simplicity returns Conscience’s clothes and delivers Love’s to Usury. Lucre enters an agreement with the Italian merchant Mercadore, whereby he will export essential materials and foodstuffs from England, and import foreign trinkets for gentlewomen. Mercadore goes to Turkey to procure knick-knacks, and encounters the Jew Gerontus. Two years ago, he borrowed a lot of money from Gerontus and avoided paying it back by skipping the country. Gerontus is happy to help in the supply of 1581 worthless tat to England, but eventually loses patience with Mercadore’s promises to pay his debt, and has him arrested. Mercadore proposes converting to Islam, which will legally void all his past obligations. Fearing that he might be blamed for a Christian’s apostasy, Gerontus cancels the debt, whereupon Mercadore’s Muslim convictions evaporate. Usury murders Hospitality and goes into hiding with a rich man, who protects him; his pardon is eventually procured by a courtier. Conscience and…
