Rh And thogh of your taunting, I may make my vaunting as bad or worse than I shal speed: Sweet heart, though now you forsake it. I trust you will take it: and sure I spak[e] it, so fine as you make it, &c

Now wil I be trudging, without anie grudging I am content to giue you ground: Good reson doth bind me, to leue you behind me, for you are better lost than found: Go play, go seeke out Dame pleasure: You are a trim treasure, Wise women be daintie, Of fooles there be plentie, &c.

If I might aduise ye, few words shuld suffice ye and yet you shold bestow them wel: Maids must be manerly, not ful of scurility, wherein I see you do excel, Farewel good Nicibicetur, God send you a sweeter, A lustie lim lifter, you are a trim shifter, &c.

He life that erst thou ledst my friend, was pleasant to thine eies: But now the losse of libertie, thou seemest to despise. Where then thou ioiedst thy will, now thou doest grudge in heart: Then thou no paine nor grief didst feele, but now thou pinest in smart.
