Galathea answers to Pamphilus.
Albeid, imbrasings nutrifies repas,
To wilfull lufe, proceiding from dispair,
By kissis sweit, oftimes it cums to pas,
That women are tane captifs in the snair:
To kis and clap, I will permit and spair,
Prouiding, that ye do na mair nor this,
Except your selfe, the suth I you declair,
My mouth, nane suld get credit for to kis.

Now I beleife, the Kirk be scaild amaist,
And that my father and mother be remouit,
Thairfoir I man pas to the house in haist,
That be my Parents, I be not reprouit:
The time sall cum thairfoir, be not commouit,
Quhen of our purpose, we sall speik in plaine,
Let euery one of vs twa weill belouit,
Haue mind of vther, will we meit againe.
