[Patiens for my devise]
Patiens for my devise,
Impaciens for your part;
Of contraries the gyse
Is ever the overthwart:
Paciens, for I ame true,
The contrary for yew.
Impaciens for your part;
Of contraries the gyse

Paciens, for I ame true,
The contrary for yew.
Paciens, a good cause why
You have no cause at all;
Therefore yours standeth awry,
Perchaunce sometyme to fall:
Paciens, then take him vp
And drynck of paciens cupp.
You have no cause at all;
Therefore yours standeth awry,
Perchaunce sometyme to fall:
Paciens, then take him vp
And drynck of paciens cupp.
Pacience, no force for that,
But brusshe your gowne again;
Pacience, spurne not therat;
Let no man knowe your payne:
Pacience, evyn at my pleasure,
When youres is owte of mesure.
But brusshe your gowne again;
Pacience, spurne not therat;
Let no man knowe your payne:
Pacience, evyn at my pleasure,
When youres is owte of mesure.
Th'othre was for me,
This pacience is for you;
Chaunge when ye list, let se,
For I have taken a new;
Pacience, with a good will
Is easy to fulfill.
This pacience is for you;
Chaunge when ye list, let se,
