CXXIX
[Dryuyn to Desyre, a drad also to Dare]
Dryuyn to Desyre, a drad also to Dare,Bitwene two stoles my tayle goith to the ground.
Dred and desire the reson doth confound,
The tonge put to sylence, the hart in hope and fere,
Doth Dred that hit Dare and hyde that wold appere.
141
For presyng to proffer me thynckes I here the sonde.
Back of thy Boldnes, thy corage passith care.
This Daungerus Dought whether to obey
My Dred or my Desire soo sore douthe me troubyll,
That cause causith for Dred of my Dekey.
In thowght al wone, in dedes to shoo me Dobyll,
Ferefull and faithfull, yet take me as I am,
Though Dowbell in Dedes, a inward perfit man.
