    How frendly was medea to Iason
    In conqueryng off the flece off gold
    how falsely quyt he her trewe affection
    by whom vyctorye he gate as he wold
    how may thys man for shame be so bolde [5]
    to dysceve her that from hys deth and shame
    hym kept and gate hym so great pryce and name

    for thowgh I had yow to morrow agayne
    I myght as well hold apryl from rayne
    as holde you to maken stedfast [10]
    all myghty god off treuthe the souerayne
    wher ys the truthe off man who hath yt slayne
    she that them loueth shall them fynde as fast
    as in a tempest ys a rotten maste
    ys that a tame beest that ys aye fayre [15]
    to renne away when he ys lefte agaste

    yff yt be so that ye so creuel be
    that off my death yow lysteth nowght to retch
    that ys so trewe and worthy as ye se
    no more than of a mocker or a wretch [20]
    yff ye be suche yowr beaute may not stretch
    to make amendes off so crewel a dede
    avysement ys good before the nede

    no worthe the fayre gemme vertulesse
    no worthe that herbe also that dothe no bote [25]
    no worthe the beaute that ys routhlesse
    no worthe that wyght that trede eche vnder fote
    and ye that ben off beauty croppe and rote
    Iff therwythall in yow be no routhe
    than ys yt harme that ye lyuen by my trouthe [30]

    for loue ys yet the muste stormy lyfe
    ryght off hymself that euer was begonne
    for euer some mystrust or nyce stryfe
    there ys in loue some cloude ouer thy sonne
    thereto we wretched women nothyng come [35]
    whan to us ys wo but wepe and syt and thynyke
    our wreake ys thys our owne wo to drynke

    Also wyckyd tonges by so prest
    to speake us harme eke men ben so vntrewe
    that ryght anon as cessed ys ther lest [40]
    so cesseth loue and forth to loue anewe
    but [ydo] ys donne who so yt rewe
    for thowgh these men for love the fyrst to rende
    ful sharpe begynnyng breketh ofte at end

    And who that sayth that for to love ys vyce [45]
    or tharalldom thowgh he fele yn yt dystresse
    he ether ys envyous or ryght nyce
    or ys for suche maner folke I gesse
    [dyssamen] loue as nothyng off hym knowe
    they speken but they bente never hys bowe [50]
