[You that in love finde lucke and habundance]

You that in love finde lucke and habundance
And live in lust and joyful jolitie,
Arrise for shame! do away your sluggardie!
Arise, I say, do May some obseruance!
Let me in bed lye dreming in mischaunce;
Let me remembre the happs most vnhappy
That me betide in May most commonly,
As oon whome love list litil to avaunce.
Sephame saide true that my natiuitie
Mischaunced was with the ruler of the May:
He gest I prove of that the veritie.
In May my welth and eke my liff I say
Have stonde so oft in such perplexitie:
Reioyse! let me dreme of your felicitie.
