Print fragment

Five fragments from 2 leaves (E1 and E3) survive at the Huntington Library:

Anon., [Enterlude of detraction, light judgment, verity, and justice], [London : S.n., ca. 1550], RB 131401:11 (fragment).

The ordering of the fragments below follows Katharine Pantzer's conjectural reconstruction (typescript and MS notes accompanying the fragments at the Huntington, made in October 1973):

Ts to confounde
And cast to grounde
Bothe man and chylde
As for you and me
Our apparrell chaunged must be
This aray is to wylde
And by saynt James
Bothe our names
Must be of more grauyte
Ye shall be callyd wysdom
And I by my halydom
Reformacyon wyll be
For many tymes Detraccyon
Pretendeth correccyon
By sad dyreccyon
To refourme yll
And yet there is but dissymulacyon
To optayne his owne wyll
For ere it longe be
Hether wyll com Veryty
For to se true Justice
Our saynge than must be
How he is ouer the see
Into the lande of Fryse
And so shall take his way
Streight ouer to sauoy
And so forth to Boeme
And from thens to Germanie
And so com home by Ytalie
Heretykes to reclayme
light iu. ¶And by the way here and there
