Caxton 1, folio39v image
 And in her houre he walked forth a pace  
Vnto the listis there the temple was  
 And doun he knelith and with humble chere  
 And with herte sore he sayde as ye shul here  
 Feyrest of feyre o lady myn venus  
 Doughter to Iouis and spouse to vlcanus  
That gladdest al the mounte of sitheon  
 For that loue that thou haddest to adoun  
 Haue pyte on my bitter teris smert  
 And take myn humble prayer at thy hert  
 Allas I haue no lengthe forto telle  
The effect ne the turment of myn helle  
 Myn herte may not myn harmys be wreye  
 I am so sorowful that I can not seye  
 But lady bright that knowest wel  
 My thought and seest the harmys that I fele  
Considere this and rewe vp on my sore  
 As wisly as I shal for euermore  
 Enforce my myght thy trewe seruaunt to be  
 And holde werre lady with chastite  
 That I make myn avowe so ye me helpe  
I kepe not of armys forto yelpe  
 Ne I axe to morw forto haue victory  
 Ne renoun in this caas ne veynglorye  
 Of pryse of armys to blowe vp and doun  
 But I wolde fully haue possession  
Of Emely and dye in thy seruise  
 Fynd thou the manere how and what wyse  
 I recche not but yf it may better be
