Howe you sette your loue vpon an vnkinde woman.

For these women be all such madde pieuishe elues,

They will not be wonne except it please them selues.

But in fayth Custance if euer ye come in hell,

And will ye needes go from vs thus in very deede?

R. Royster. Yea in good sadnesse?

M. Mery. Now Iesus Christ be your speede.

Good night Roger olde knaue, farewell Roger olde knaue,
