XII.
But spurr to prick, but brydle for to turne,to quintescence great ioyes of gretest greif,
to fyre a harte and not the hyde to burne,
to steile a saule but takeris of a theif,
to kill and save, to giue and stey releife,
frie wills but cords to captiuat and bind,
but blaid to drawe my bloode from senews chiefe,
and to enflame a breist but fyre or wynde,
In closest stokkes to hold a oppen mynde,
but entrye in the feght to win the feild,
and to surpasss all wemen of her kynde,
mak wyntar flouers and sommer yce to yeild,
to hayle to heaven through ioy and noy to hell,
the wondars ar quhairin thow doist excell.
