Pyte
More surely enprynted is and conioyned stedfastly
The loue by effeccyon entreth the herte more depe
Than of the other for they rest quyetly
Where thoder oftymes breketh many a slepe
It is so penytrable and so subtylly doeth crepe
Upon a man whiche maketh it so stable
Where in thoder yf one suche corne dyd repe
He wolde to her be aswell agreable.
