Mi Sone, I have it left for schame,
Be cause I am here oghne Prest;[1616]
Qualiter Cupido et Venus deus et dea amoris nuncupantur.[1617]
Bot for thei stonden nyh thi brest[1618]
Upon the schrifte of thi matiere,
Thou schalt of hem the sothe hiere:
And understand nou wel the cas.
Venus Saturnes dowhter was,
Which alle danger putte aweie
Of love, and fond to lust a weie; 1390
