C. Custance. Holde, reade it if ye can.

And see what letter it is to winne a woman.

M. Mery. To mine owne deare coney birde, swete heart, and pigsny

Good Mistresse Custance present these by and by,

Of this superscription do ye blame the stile?

C. Custance. With the rest as good stuffe as ye redde a great while.

M. Mery. Sweete mistresse where as I loue you nothing at all,

Regarding your substance and richesse chiefe of all,

For your personage, beautie, demeanour and wit,

I commende me vnto you neuer a whit.
