Certes (said she) then bene ye sixe to blame,
2 To weene your wrong by force to iustifie:
For knight to leaue his Ladie were great shame,
4 That faithfull is, and better were to die.
All losse is lesse, and lesse the infamie,
6 Then losse of loue to him, that loues but one;
Ne may loue be compeld by maisterie;
8 For soone as maisterie comes, sweete loue anone
Taketh his nimble wings, and soone away is gone.
