Of her worthy and royall dygnyte

 She eche estate sholde haue in gouernaunce

As theym to rule or that they repent

For better it is to haue good puruyaunce

At the begynnynge as is expedyent

Than for to wyssh for thynges myspent

That myght be saued longe afore

And with a for wytte kepte in store

 Her chaumbre was glased with byrall clarefyed

Depeynted with colours of delectacyon

A place of pleasure so heuenly gloryfyed

In vertue heale lyfe and saluacyon

Without ony stormy trybulacyon

That myght anoy the heuenly helth

But alway comfort to the sowlys welth

||

 There sate dame prudence in vertue magnyfyed

Impossyble it is to shewe her goodelyhed

She was so fayre and clerely puryfyed

And so dyscrete and full of womanhede
