Dysdayne.
Perauenture he thynkes suche condycyons be in none
As in his loue so substancyall and stedfast
He weneth she be incomperable a lone
So that all worldly stormes can not blowe downe his mast
Not Eolus yf he came with his moost stormy blast
Nor thesyphone coude cause betwene theym dyscorde
So durably he trustes that loue wyll last
He weneth that Cupyde be so contynuall a lorde
As in his loue so substancyall and stedfast
He weneth she be incomperable a lone
So that all worldly stormes can not blowe downe his mast
Not Eolus yf he came with his moost stormy blast
Nor thesyphone coude cause betwene theym dyscorde
So durably he trustes that loue wyll last
He weneth that Cupyde be so contynuall a lorde
