That I may passe the passage daungerous,

And to thy laude, honoure, and glorye,

I shal a temple ryght strongly edefy.

Well than, sayd Mars, I shall the fortefye

In all thy warre as fast as I can.

But for thy payne I knowe no remedy,

For Venus reyned whan that thou began,

Fyrst for to love making the pale and wanne;

And of the trouthe to make relacyon

Thou was borne under her consolacion.
