Pyte.
What moeueth you dysdayne this man this to reproue
Whiche I am sure came in none yll entent
But to expresse and represse his mynde & faruent loue
Hath he ony ungoodly wordes in my ladyes presence spent
I perceyue no pryde in hym me thynketh hym dylygent
And yf ye haue ony cause in hym now speke
Yf not / I assure you I can not be content
That with unsyttynge wordes ye shold his herte thus breke
Whiche I am sure came in none yll entent
But to expresse and represse his mynde & faruent loue
Hath he ony ungoodly wordes in my ladyes presence spent
I perceyue no pryde in hym me thynketh hym dylygent
And yf ye haue ony cause in hym now speke
Yf not / I assure you I can not be content
That with unsyttynge wordes ye shold his herte thus breke
