How daungerous it were to stande in his lyght[1665],

Ye wolde not[1666] dele with hym, thowgh[1667] that ye myght,

For by his deuellysshe drift and graceles prouision

An hole reame[1668] he is able to set at deuysion:

For when he spekyth fayrest, then thynketh he moost yll;

Full gloryously can he glose, thy mynde for to fele; 760

He wyll set men a feightynge[1669] and syt[1670] hymselfe styll,

And smerke, lyke a smythy kur, at[1671] sperkes of steile;

He[1672] can neuer leue warke whylis it is wele;

To tell all his towchis it were to grete wonder;
