Beseche her mekely, with al lowlinesse,

Though I be fer from her [as] in absence,

To thenke on my trouth to her and stedfastnesse,

And to abregge of my sorwe the violence,

Which caused is wherof knoweth your sapience;

20

She lyke among to notifye me her lykinge;

For of al goode she is the best livinge.

Lenvoy.

Aurore of gladnesse, and day of lustinesse,
