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 true
