[Ffull well yt maye be sene]
Ffull well yt maye be sene
To suche as vnderstand
How some there be that wene
They haue theyre welthe at hand
Throughe loves abusyd band;
But lytyll do they see
Th'abuse wherin they be.
To suche as vnderstand
How some there be that wene
They haue theyre welthe at hand
Throughe loves abusyd band;
But lytyll do they see
Th'abuse wherin they be.
Of loue there ys a kynd
Whyche kyndlythe by abuse,
As in a feble mynd
Whome fansy may enduce
By loues dysceatfull vse
To folowe the fond lust
And profe of a vayne trust.
Whyche kyndlythe by abuse,
As in a feble mynd
Whome fansy may enduce
By loues dysceatfull vse
To folowe the fond lust
And profe of a vayne trust.
As I my self may saye
By tryall of the same
No wyght can well bewraye
The falshed loue can frame;
I saye twyxt grefe and game
Ther ys no lyvyng man
That knows the crafte loue can.

Ffor loue so well can fayne
To favour for the whyle
That suche as sekes the gayne
Ar servyd with the gyle;
And some can thys concyle
To gyue the symple leave
Them sellffes for to dysceave.

What thyng may more declare
Of loue the craftye kynd?
Then se the wyse, so ware,
In loue to be so blynd,
Yf so yt be assynd
Let them enjoye the gayn,
That thynkes yt worthe the payn.
