[Absence, alas]
Absence, alas,
Causeth me pas
Frome al solas
To great grevans:
Yet though that I
Absent must be,
I trust that she
Hath remembraunce.

Frome al solas
To great grevans:
Yet though that I
Absent must be,
I trust that she
Hath remembraunce.
Where I her fynd
Lovyng and kynd,
There my poore mynd
Eased shalbe;
And for my parte
My loue and harte
Shall not reverte,
Though I shuld dye.

In pryson stronge,
Shall not me make
Her to forsake,
Though I shuld lak
Her neuer soo long.

For ones trust I,
Or that I dy,
For to aspye
The happy owre—
At lyberty
With her to be,
That pytys me
In this dolowre.
