Gramercy Mammon (said the gentle knight)
2 For so great grace and offred high estate;
But I, that am fraile flesh and earthly wight,
4 Vnworthy match for such immortall mate
My selfe well wote, and mine vnequall fate;
6 And were I not, yet is my trouth yplight,
And loue auowd to other Lady late,
8 That to remoue the same I haue no might:
To chaunge loue causelesse is reproch to warlike knight.
