¶The louer praieth pity showing that nature hath taught his dog as it were to sue for the same by kissing his ladies handes.

NAture that taught my silly dog god wat: Euen for my sake to like where I do loue, Inforced him whereas my lady sat With humble sute before her fallyng flat. As in his sorte he might her pray and moue To rue vpon his lord and not forgete The stedfast faith he beareth her and loue, Kissing her hand whom she could not remoue.
