HEr kyrtel so goodly lased
And vnder that is braced
Such pleasures that I may
Neither write nor say
Yet thoughe I writ not with ink
No man can let me thinke
For thought hath liberti
Thought is franke and free
To thynke a mery thought
It cost me litle or nought

Wold god mine homely stile
Were pollished with the file
Of Ciceros eloquence
To prayse her excellence
The moost goodlye floure
This blossome of freshe coloure
So Iupiter me succoure
She florysheth new and new
In beauty and vertue
Hac claritate gemina
O gloriosa femina
Principes persecuti sunt me gratis
Omnibus consideratis. Paradisus uolup∣tatis, hec uirgo est dulcissima.
