- MYNSTRELLES
Whann Battayle, smethynge1 wythe new quickenn'd gore,
Bendynge wythe spoiles, and bloddie droppynge hedde,
Dydd the merke2 woode of ethe3 and rest explore,
Seekeynge to lie onn Pleasures downie bedde,
Pleasure, dauncyng fromm her wode,
Wreathedd wythe floures of aiglintine,
Fromm hys vysage washedd the bloude,
Hylte4 hys swerde and gaberdyne.
[ Wythe syke an eyne shee swotelie5 hymm dydd view, ]
[ Dydd foe ycorvenn6 everrie shape to joie, ]
[ Hys spryte dydd chaunge untoe anodherr hue, ]
[ Hys armes, ne spoyles, mote anie thoughts emploie. ]
All delyghtsomme and contente,
Fyre enshotynge7 fromm hys eyne,
Ynn hys arms hee dydd herr hente8,
Lyche the merk9-plante doe entwyne.
[ Soe, gyff thou lovest Pleasure and herr trayne, ]
[ Onknowlachynge10 ynn whatt place herr to fynde, ]
[ Thys rule yspende11, and ynn thie mynde retayne; ]
[ Seeke Honnoure fyrste, and Pleasaunce lies behynde. ]
