Dysdayne.
I am content to put my cause in to my ladyes handes
As it shall please her I must hold me content
But I owe you no seruyce I holde of you no landes
To shewe you my cause afore my lady I consent
Let her ordre me as she shall thynke conuenyent
Why sholde he come without leue to her presence
Answere to this as ye thynke expedyent
Me thynke to my lady he hath done a grete offence.
As it shall please her I must hold me content
But I owe you no seruyce I holde of you no landes
To shewe you my cause afore my lady I consent

Why sholde he come without leue to her presence
Answere to this as ye thynke expedyent
Me thynke to my lady he hath done a grete offence.
