[Auyse the wele let reason be thy guyde]

Auyse the wele let reason be thy guyde
Whan other folke thou arte about to blame
That suche defawte in the be not espyed
For if there be than shalte thou haue the shame
A mannes honoure such thynges woll reclayme
It is full foule whan that a man woll chese
If that his dede agayne his wordys preche.
