Pyte.
Ye may not blame all thoughe some be chaungeable
I can tell you hystoryes of louers ryght stedfast
Pyramus and Thysbe contynued very stable
As longe as lyfe dyd in theyr bodyes last
Whan thone was deed thoder to deth dyd haste
Loue surely conioyned is a grete pleasure
Than why sholde ye all louers out of fauour cast
Syth Thysbe of Pyramus had so grete a treasure
I can tell you hystoryes of louers ryght stedfast
Pyramus and Thysbe contynued very stable
As longe as lyfe dyd in theyr bodyes last

Loue surely conioyned is a grete pleasure
Than why sholde ye all louers out of fauour cast
Syth Thysbe of Pyramus had so grete a treasure
