And thou therto thy selfe abandon

Stryue not with reason for none encheson

For wher she lacketh ther is grete outrage

And without her may not aswage

 Eschew also the synne of pryde

The moder and the feruent rote

Of all the synnes at euery tyde

Wherfore trede thou her vnder fote

With helpe of vertue so swete and sote

Whiche is best salue to hele thy sore

And to thy helth the to restore

||

 Wo worth synne without repentaunce

Wo worth bondage without reles

Wo worth man without good gouernaunce

Wo worth infynall payne and dystresse

Wo worth vyce put fer in presse

Wo worth soueraynte hauynge dysdeyn

And wo worth pyte that doth refrayn

 Wo worth ryght that may not be herd
