Pyte.
He was enflamed but by aduenture
His pouerte made hym content his mynde to expresse
Yet whan of his Iugement he had theffect & pleasure
None of his dedes accorded shortly nor in processe
But the dedes of Desyre folowed doubtles
For accordynge to his wordes he made grete labour
Hertely requyrynge my lady hym to redresse
Promysynge her the utterest of his lytle power.
