HERE FOLOWETH CERTAYNE VERSES, SENDE TO THE NOBLE LADY MARY,
FOR TO LERNE THEM HER SCOLE MAISTER BEYNG SICKE.

To you, most soverayn,
A uous, tressouueraine maistresse,

I sende these vers, wyllyng to signifie
jenvoy ces uerse, uoullant sinifier

my great dolour and that more me oppresse
ma grand doulleur et que plus mopresse

that I may nat you serve and teche
ne uous pouoir seruir et enseygner

than for to suffre sekenesse and danger
que de souffrir maladie et dangier

wherfore, if it please so moche do to your grace
pourquoy, sil plaist tant faire a uostre grace

them for to rede some lyttell space
les uoulloir lire quelque petitte espace

my hope is that better therof ye shalbe
mon espoir est que mieulz uous en vauldres

and by that point also shall excuse me.
et par ce point aussi mescuseres.

Me thinketh that other than you ought nat
Il me semble quaultre que uous ne doibt
