Aristotiles Axeth:
‘Now, myne ownë lady dere,I pray yow, (towchyng thys matere,)
Wych be so sotyl in konnyng,
Telleth me, touchyng thys thyng,
Vnderstonde ye “localiter,”
Or ellys “virtualiter?”
Lat thys thyngës ben yset,
To-gydre bounden & yknet;
In boundys closyd so strongly
That I ther-on may feythfully
Gyve answere, as yt ys skylle,
Or close my mouth, & so be stylle.’
