Wepe now nomore I wil thy lust fulfille  
 Now wol I stynte of the goddes aboue  
 Of marce and venus goddes of loue  
 And telle you al pleynly as I can  
 The grete effect of whiche I began  
 GReet was the feste in attenes that day  
 And eke the lusty seson of may  
 Made euery wight to be in suche plesaunce  
 That al that moneth Iuste they & daunce  
 And spenden it in venus high seruise  
But be cause that they sholden arise  
 Erly forto se the grete sight  
 Vnto her reste wente they at nyght  
 And on the morow when day gan sprynge  
 Of hors and noyse harneis and claterynge  
Ther was in hostelries al aboute  
 And to the Paleys ther ridith many aroute  
 And lordis vp on stedis and Palfreys  
 There maist thou se deuysinge of harneys  
 So vncowthe and so riche and wel  
Of goldsmythrye of browderye & that subtel
