Thy beauty fair for to behold,

And when mine ears ’gan first to hark

The pleasant words that thou me told,

I would as then I had been free 5

From ears to hear, and eyes to see.

And when in mind I did consent

To follow thus my fancy’s will,

And when my heart did first relent

To taste such bait, myself to spill, 10

I would my heart had been as thine,
