XXII. A GOODLY BALADE.
¶ Moder of norture, best beloved of al,
And fresshest flour, to whom good thrift god sende.
Your child, if it list you me so to cal,
Al be I unable my-self so to pretende,
5
To your discrecioun I recommende
Myn herte and al, with every circumstaunce,
Al hoolly to be under your governaunce.
