And ȝitt, as me thynkyht, no man xuld shete bett

Than I xuld do now, if myn hand were sett aryght.

Aspye some marke, boy, my bowe xal I bende wyght,

And sett myn hand evyn to shete at some best;

And I dare ley a wagour his deth for to dyght,

The marke xal I hitt, my lyff do I hest.

Adolescens. Undyr ȝon grett bushe, mayster, a best do I se,

Take me thin hand swythe and holde it ful stylle,

Now is thin hand evyn as evyr it may be,

Drawe up thin takylle ȝon best for to kylle.
