Than often to stryke and to renne forwarde

That thynge that hardynes may not wynne

May be goten by my hyghe souerente

And with the helpe of subtyle engynne

It may be brought to the extremyte

Wher that it myght not by possybylyte

Of hardynes longe afore be wonne

Yet by grete wysedome it may be donne

Vnto dyuers cases I take excepcyon

Of dame Hardynes whiche are no lawe
