Vnto the ladyes byddynge fare well

And went into her chaumbre close

I cleped conscyence wher she dyd dwell

As dame Dyscrecyon dyd me tell

Than hardynes & fortune went downe the stayre

And after theym Nature so clere and fayre

[ Capitulum .viii.]

DAme Sapyence taryed a lytell whyle

Behynd the other saynge to Dyscrecyon
