Pyte
The cause consydered I trust ye wyll saye
That whan he came hyther he mynded no dyspleasure
As to warde my lady he came for the next waye
And as in his wordes he hath ordred hym by measure
He neyther sought hyther for golde ne treasure
But cupyde constrayned his courage to make more haste
And but yf ye fynde some other cause then this I am sure
For this my lady wyll not hym out of her fauoure caste
That whan he came hyther he mynded no dyspleasure
As to warde my lady he came for the next waye
And as in his wordes he hath ordred hym by measure
He neyther sought hyther for golde ne treasure
But cupyde constrayned his courage to make more haste
And but yf ye fynde some other cause then this I am sure
For this my lady wyll not hym out of her fauoure caste
