And began on her to laugh and smyle

Axynge her how I stode in condycyon

Well she sayd in good perfeccyon

But best it is that he maryed be

For to eschewe all yll censualyte

I knowe a lady of meruelous beaute

Spronge out of hyghe and noble lynage

Replete with vertue and full of bounte

Whiche vnto youth were a good maryage

For she is comen of royall apparage
