Ay stering theim to drede[n] vice and shame:
In their degree it maketh thaim honorable;

And swete it is of love [to] bere the name,
So that his love be feithfull, true, and stable:
Love prunith him, to semen amiable;
Love hath no faut, there it is exercysed,
But sole with theim that have all love dispised.
