Thys ys my songe both nyȝt & day,

Whate euer thow sey, A-vyse the welle!

Be ware of bagbytynge, y the rede;

ley flaterynge vndyr thy foote, loke;

Deme the beste of euery dede

Tylle trowth haue serchyd truly þe roote;

Rrefrayne malyce cruelle & hoote;

Dyscretly and wysly speende thy spelle;

Boost ne brage ys worth A Ioote;

Whate euer thow sey, A-vyse the welle!
