Be of good chere, and for nothyng dismaye,
I spake with her but nowe this other daye,
And she my selfe unto you hath sent;
My name is called dame Perceveraunce.
A little before that I from her went,
To her came Cupide, with great circumstaunce,
And brought a letter of Venus ordinaunce,
Whiche unto her he did anone present.
When she it reade and knewe the entent,
All inwardly full wondersly dismayed,
