And yf ye well consyder he is worthy more prayse
That he to my lady made his supplycacyon
Than yf he had compassed her by more crafty wayes

That he dare speke and trust to haue no replycacyon
Agayne his mynde feruent loue was cause of this
The whiche in hym had so grete operacyon
To make hym tell the trouth were it well or amysse.
