I am a woman right fayre, as ye se; 820

In no creature more beauty then in me is;

And, syns I am fayre, fayre wolde I kepe me,

But the sonne in somer so sore doth burne me,

In wynter the wynde on every side me.

No parte of the yere wote I where to turne me, 825

But even in my house am I fayne to hyde me.

And so do all other that beuty have;

In whose name at this tyme, this sewt I make,

Besechynge Jupyter to graunt that I crave;
