[...] castynge a regarde[?]
In castynge a laughter amerous
Than with a praty smyle she doth me larde
And that maketh me sumwhat Ioyous
But comynge to a bed delycyous
For to holde the spere in a full hande
It plyeth and fayleth for it wyll not stonde
Whan I herde her bable and langage
Her gentyll termes spoken so properly
I do me wysshe for to be in to the age
Of eyghten / neyntene / or foure and twenty
Suche assawtes than gyue wolde I
That for it she sholde haue no nede to craue
Of the grete pleasure that she sholde haue
If that she go to banckettes and daunces
She doth none offence therin certayne
Nedes she must haue her plesaunces
In some place to make her glad and fayne
Wherfore I dare well say and sustayne
That after with me I wolde haue her ledde
Yf ony soner I had ben to her wedde
We twayne sholde haue all our yongenesse
After maryage custome and ryght
Passed in Ioye / solace / and gladnesse
And is wherfore I haue me pyght
Force it is [...]o me that the fyre be nyght
That at a nede I can not haue qu [...]nched
To late maryed is for to be complayned

He ne hath but only habytude
Vnto her the whiche well doth hym tende
Who wyll to housholde comprehende

He shall haue honoure in his olde dayes
Some chyldren vnto the courtes hauntes

Some haūteth markettes & be marchūtes
Byenge and sellynge theyr marchan̄dyses
Or elles constytued in offyces
Theyr faders and moders haue grete solace
That to late maryed by no waye hase
I [...]wayll the tyme that is so spent
That I [...] hasted for to wedde
For I sh [...]ll haue herytage and rente
Both golde and syluer and grete kynred
But s [...]ch that our lorde hath or deyned
That I this sacrament take me vpon
I wyll [...]e [...]eit [...]ewely at all season
Theophrastus vs sheweth in his prose
That in maryage all is out of tune
So both also the romanute of the rose
Composed by mayster Iohā de mehune
Yet neuertheles it is all comune
That they neuer were in bonde of maryage
Wherfore at all a ventures is theyr langage
