Therfore in feythe I wole me nat excuse
From this labour ywys, nor hit Refuse;
For myn owne lernynge wole I say summe thing
That touchis vertues and curtesye havyng.
¶ But, O yonge Babees, whome bloode Royalle
Withe grace, Feture, and hyhe habylite
Hathe enourmyd, on yow ys that I calle
To knowe this Book; for it were grete pyte,
Syn that in yow ys sette sovereyne beaute,
But yf vertue and nurture were withe alle;
