The Example of VertuThe Example of Virtue
cc .ii.

 These commaundementes I put in memory

Theym for to kepe doynge my dylygence

With dame Sapyence I dyd longe tary

Whiche dyd me teche with partynge influence

Of her delycate and doulcete complacence

Than spake dyscrecyon anone to me

In the presens of her systers mageste

 Thou art beholdynge to my syster reuerent

That the reteyned hath vnto her seruaunt

Wherfore be thou to her obedyent

And at euery houre to her attendaunt

And ryotous company do thou not haunt

For that wyll payre and yll thy name

Wherfore of vertuous myrth let be thy game

 Capitulum.vi.
