Thauctour.
Dysdayne to speke was very desyrous
Had not credence interrupted his language
Whiche made suche haste to her lady amerrous
That somthynge she poynted because of her vyage
For the whiche she lyke a woman ryght sage
Made a pause and spake in wordes compendyous
And tellynge she was comen accordynge to her message
And in this wyse she spake in wordes effectuous
Had not credence interrupted his language
Whiche made suche haste to her lady amerrous
That somthynge she poynted because of her vyage
For the whiche she lyke a woman ryght sage
Made a pause and spake in wordes compendyous
And tellynge she was comen accordynge to her message
And in this wyse she spake in wordes effectuous
