After that pryde is fro the chased
By the myght of humylite
wyth another shalt thou be manased
whyche is daungerous called enuye.
Accompanyed wyth myserye
with falshode/murder/and treason
Suche shall be in his companye
wyth sclander/and fals detraccyon
As a daungerouns capytayne
Enuye wyll the assayle and touche
He shall do the full moche payne
If thou as subiect vnto hym crouche
Ill reporte hathe he in his pouche
wyth many vyces and dyuers
whiche vnto vertue ar reproche
Hym alway tendynge to reuers.
whan that thou seest hyr the about
In me put thou thy truste and ioy
Be not afrayde nor do nat dout


Truste well I shall them all destroye
Faythe and charyte shall them noye
Se thou all waye do hyr honour
So shall she wyt on the employ
To knowe howe she men dothe socour
Charyte hathe waytynge one hyr dignyte
Uery trewe loue and misericorde
Beneuolence with grace & veryte
Amonge them fonde is no discorde
But peas mekenesse and concorde
These shall the helpe in thy necessyte
And thus as I vnto the recorde
They shall enuye auoyde frothe
