[Dobell, dyuerse, soleyn and straunge]

Dobell, dyuerse, soleyn and straunge,
But I haue sped and skappt vnspyd.
Thancked be fortune of frendly chaunge,
The Dede ys Don and I not Denyed.
My traught mystakyn, and I vntryed,
Yf Dobbell Drabbes were soo Defyed,
As worthy ys there wandryng wyt.
I wysse with reson doth not sit:
To Do and vndo, and Scapp vnquyt.
For youre noo faith, such faute were fyt,
Forborne for fere, nay Loue ys hit
Wherby ys bound the body soo.
Thancked be fortune of euery chaunce,
Of my myshappe I thanck my self.
Payne or pleasure, woo or welth.
Wounded by wordes, and Lackes avaunce.
