Pyte.
Consyder the grounde and than it dyscus
Where the grounde fayleth can be no suraunce
Cessante causa cessat et effectus
Take awaye the condycyons where is the remembraunce
All is clene gone but where effeccyon doeth enhaunce
There is no chaunge but loue perpetuall
No dyspleasure can dyspoynt theyr desyred dalyaunce
But be entred in the boke of fame to be memoryall
Where the grounde fayleth can be no suraunce
Cessante causa cessat et effectus
Take awaye the condycyons where is the remembraunce
106
There is no chaunge but loue perpetuall
No dyspleasure can dyspoynt theyr desyred dalyaunce
But be entred in the boke of fame to be memoryall
