ANE LITERALL SONNET.

Dull dolor dalie dois delyt destroy,
Vill vantith vit vaist vorn vith vickit vo,
Cair cankert causith confortles conwoy,
Seueir sad sorrow scharplie schoris so.
My myrthles mynd may meruell monie mo,
Promp peirles proper plesand perll preclair,
fair fremmit freind, firm fellest frownyng fo.
Rythche rubie rycht renownit royall rair,
Send succor soone, so suadge sall sourest sair,
Grant griwous gronyng gratious guerdon guid,
for fauor flowing from fresche faces fair
Restorit rychtlie restles rancor ruid,
Bot beutie breding bittir boudin baill
Dois dalie deedlie duynyng dartis daill.
