[Yf it be so that I forsake the]
Yf it be so that I forsake the,
As banysshed from thy company,
Yet my hert, my mynde and myn affection
Shall still remain in thy perfection;
And right as thou lyst so order me.
But some would saye in their opinion
Revoulsed is thy good intention;
Then may I well blame thy cruelte,
Yf it be so.
As banysshed from thy company,
Yet my hert, my mynde and myn affection
Shall still remain in thy perfection;
And right as thou lyst so order me.
But some would saye in their opinion
Revoulsed is thy good intention;
Then may I well blame thy cruelte,
Yf it be so.
But myself I say on this fasshion,
I have her hert in my possession,
And of it self there cannot, perdy,
By no meanes love an herteles body;
And, on my faith, good is the reason,
If it be so.
I have her hert in my possession,

By no meanes love an herteles body;
And, on my faith, good is the reason,
If it be so.
