The louer taught, mistrusteth allurementes.

IT may be good like it who list: But I do dout, who can me blame? For oft assured, yet haue I mist: And now againe I feare the same. The wordes, that from your mouth last came, Of sodain change make me agast. For dread to fall, I stand not fast.

Imprisoned in liberties, As one vnheard, and still that cries: Alwayes thirsty, and naught doth taste, For dreade to fall, I stand not fast. Assured I dout I be not sure, Should I then trust vnto such suretie? That oft haue put the proofe in vre, And neuer yet haue found it trustie? Nay syr in fayth, it were great folly. And yet my life thus do I wast, For dread to fall I stand not fast.
