[My hert I gave the not to do it payn]
My hert I gave the not to do it payn,But to preserue it was to the taken;
I serued the not to be forsaken,
But that I should be rewarded again.
I was content thy seruant to remayn,
But not to be payed vnder this fasshion.
Nowe syns in the is none othre reason,
Displease the not if that I do refrain.
Vnsaciat of my woo and thy desire,
Assured be craft to excuse thy fault;
But syns it please thee to fain a default,
Farewell, I say, parting from the fyer:
For he that beleveth bering in hand
Plowith in water and soweth in the sand.
