To maystres Iane Blenner-Haiset.
What though my penne wax faynt,
And hath smale lust to paint?
Yet shall there no restraynt
Cause me to cese,
Amonge this prese,
For to encrese
Yowre goodly name.

I wyll my selfe applye,
Trust me, ententifly,
Yow for to stellyfye;
And so obserue
That ye ne swarue
For to deserue
Immortall fame.

Smale flowres helpt to sett
In my goodly chapelet,
Therfore I render of her the memory
Vnto the legend of fare Laodomi.
