Take ye in gre / o worthy mayster myneThis rubryke frensshe / in verses incorrect
No meruayle is / thoughe theyr speche be not fyne
115
And frome your boke / let them be undeiect
Without your lycence / yf I dyd them impresse
Pardon I praye you / of this my homelynesse
En passant le temps sans mal pencer.
