God graunt I may finde all things safe here at last.

Then will I thinke all my trauaile well spent.

Nowe the first poynt wherfore my maister hath me sent

Is to salute dame Christian Custance his wife,

Espoused: whome he tendreth no lesse than his life,

I must see how it is with hir well or wrong,

And whether for him she doth not now thinke long:

Then to other friendes I haue a message or tway,

And then so to returne and mete him on the way.

Now wyll I goe knocke that I may dispatche with speede,
