Svsanna fayre sometime assaulted was
Svsanna fayre sometime assaulted was, by two old men desiring their delight,
which leude intent they thought to bring to passe,
if not by tender loue, by force and might,
to whom she said, if I your sure denye,
you will me falsely accuse and make me dye,
And if I graunt to that which you request,
my chastity, shall then deflowred be,
which is so deere to me, that I detest,
my lyfe, if it berefted be from me,
and rather would I dye, of mine accord,
ten thousand tymes, then once offend our Lord.
