To you this present yere
To. m. S. H.
To you this present yere full fayre, and fortunable fall,Returning now to his prime part: and, good luck therwithall,
May it proceed: and end, and oft return, to glad your hert:
O Susan, whom among my frendes I count, by your desert.
Ioy may your heauenly sprite: endure fresh wit, in [that] fyne brayn:
Your knowledge of good things encreas: your body, safe remain:
A body, of such shape, as showeth a worthy wight by kynde:
A closet, fit for to contein the vertues of that minde.
What shall I yet moreouer add? God graunt, w[ith] pleasaunt mate
A pleasaunt life you lead. Well may that man reioyse his fate.
