What thyng shold cawse me to be so sad
as long ye reyoyse wyth hart
my part yt ys for to be glad
syns yow haue takyn me to yowr part
ye do relese my pene and smart [5]
wych wold me mery sore Insue
but that for yow my trust so trew

yff I shuld wryte and make report
what faythfulnes in yow I fynd
the terme off lyfe yt were to short [10]
wyth penne yn letters yt to bynd
wherefor wher as ye be so kynd
as for my part yt ys but dewe
lyke case to you to be as true

My loue truly shall not decay [15]
for thretnyng nor for punyshment
for let them thynke and let them say
toward yow alone I am full bent
therefore I wylbe dylygent
owr faythfull loue for to renew [20]
and styll to kepe me trust so trew

Thus fare ye well my worldly tresor
desyryng god that off hys grace
to send us tyme hys wyll and plesor
then shal I be yn as good case [25]
as a hawke that gets owt off hys mue
and strayt doth seke hys trust so tr
