In every nombre by expert connynge.

To reherse in Englysshe more of this science,

It were foly and the great neclygence.

I thought full longe, till I had a syght

Of La Bell Pucell, the most fayre ladye;

My minde upon her was bothe day and nyght,

The fervent love so perst me inwardly,

Wherfore I went anone right shortly

Unto the toure swete and melodyous,

Of dame Musyke so gaye and gloryous.
