Beware of foly / beware of inwarde pryde

B

Clymbe not to fast / but yet fortune abyde

For your loue I thanke you / yf trouthe haue it fyxte

As with yll thought / neuer for to be myxte

¶ Amour.

Surely my mynde / nor yet my purpose

In ony cause by foly dyde vary

Neuer doynge thynke open ne close

That to your honour sholde be contrary

As yet for grace I am content to tary

For myn enmyes fraude and subtylnes

Whiche pryuely begyne theyr owne vnhapynesse

¶ Pucell.

Now of trouthe / I do vnto you tell

The thynge yt to your enmyes is moost dyspleasure

Is for to gouerne you by wysdome ryght well

That causeth enuy in theyr hertes to endure

But be ye pacyent and ye shall be sure

Suche thynges as the ordayne vnto your gref
