With lovyng wordes she wyl you than grete.

Sorow no more, for I thynke in my mynde

That at the last she wyl be good and kynd.

Alas! quod I, she is of hye degre,

Borne to great land, treasure, and substaunce:

I fere to sore I shal disdayned be,

The whych wyl trouble al my grevaunce.

Her beaute is the cause of my penaunce:

I have no great lande, treasure, nor ryches,

To wynne the favour of her noblenes.
