For to illumyne, she sayde, I was to dulle, 20

Auysynge[239] me my penne awaye to pulle,

And not to wryte;[240] for he so wyll atteyne

Excedynge ferther than his connynge is,

His hede maye be harde, but feble is his[241] brayne,

Yet haue I knowen suche er this;

But of reproche surely he maye not mys,

That clymmeth hyer than he may fotynge haue;

What and he slyde downe, who shall hym saue?

Thus vp and down my mynde was drawen and cast,
