Pyte.
Me thynke contrary and for this reason
That loue comynge by effeccyon shold endure a lenger space
Loue is a conioynynge of two hertes for a season
Thoughe perauenture they contynue not long in a place
Yet in theyr absence suche loue encreaseth a pace
Where as yf it came by condycyons it coude not reuyue
But yf so were they myght be in suche case
That they myght contynue togyder all theyr lyue.
