(51) To Humfrie Waldronn.
Yf reasons worthie minde prescribe this reede,
and Iustice bidd ech one with Iust desart
for to requite with like, the frendlie deede,
in outward shewe and inward faithfull harte,
then must I yeald vnto your gentle heste,
and streyne my quill to answere your request.

in outward shewe and inward faithfull harte,
then must I yeald vnto your gentle heste,
and streyne my quill to answere your request.
Wherin with slender phrase I gentlie craue
your skillfull muse to pardon skillesse write,
and rather waie the honnest minde I haue,
then simple quill which rashelie doth recite
what Idle brayne hath fondlie found at large,
which I present, our freindshipp to discharge.

A ffoolishe Cherill I maye seeme to bee,
that shame not to present vnto thy sight
Sir Topas ridinge rime not meet for thee,
Nor Gouldings learned vewe, that famous wight,
whose hawtie verse, with sugredd words well knitt,
bereaves the same of Chawcers flowing witt.
Then frendlie take in gree this frendlie verse I frame,
and thinke, to his Perithous, that Thesius writes the same.
