XXX.
if never for to ioy nor yet enioyane spark of plesour in my fervent love,
if vaynlye paines and pen and spreits employ
the hardness of her harte to mercye move,
or yet by absence seike for to remove
my hope that by dispair dois more encrease,
if euerye houer a hell of paynes to prove,
and see for service trewe assynde disgrace,
iff all these things may yet my flams efface,
and quensche the fyres that burne within my brest,
iff these things may devert or yet displace
my thoughts from loving her hathe me distrest,
then am I frie; bot this agayne sayes reason,
he goes not quhair he wald who is in preason.
