| | How durst ye sey for shame vnto your loue | |
| | That ony thing mighte make you a feerde | |
| 100 | Haue ye no mannys herte & haue a berde | |

| 110 | Of arowes and of fyre with rede lemys | |
| | Of grete bestes that wole hem byte | |
| | And alle as a Iape not worth a myte | |
| | Right as the humour of Melancolye | |
| | Causeth many a man in slepe to crye | |

| | But I wil passe as lightly as I can | |
| 120 | Lo Caton whiche that was a wyse man | |
| | Sayde he not thus . do no fors of dremys | |
| | Now sir quod she whan we fle fro the bemys | |
| | For goddis loue as takith sum laxatif | |
