 FOrth we walked to the dwellynge place

Of dame sapyence so full of blys

Replete with Ioye vertu and grace

No thynge there lacked that possyble is

Man for to comfort withouten mys

Though he were derke in wordely foly

He sholde there b enlumyned shortely

 Her towre was made of werkes curyous

I can no thynge extende the goodlynes

Of her palays so good and gloryous

Bylded in the place soth of fastnes

With owten tast of wordely bytternes

No persone can extoll the souerente
