Dysdayne.
Admytte it was for loue yet many are chaungeable
Thoughe longe it hath contynued in approued kyndenes
Was not Iason to Medea longe agreable
Yet after it chaunged he refused her in proces
What cruell herte had he whiche for her gentylnes
In none other wyse dyd her recompence
He regarded neyther kynred nor noblenes
This well consydered who wolde to theym gyue credence
Thoughe longe it hath contynued in approued kyndenes
Was not Iason to Medea longe agreable
Yet after it chaunged he refused her in proces
What cruell herte had he whiche for her gentylnes
In none other wyse dyd her recompence
He regarded neyther kynred nor noblenes
This well consydered who wolde to theym gyue credence
