MYNSTRELLES

Whann Battayle, smethynge[1] wythe new quickenn'd gore,
Bendynge wythe spoiles, and bloddie droppynge hedde,
Dydd the merke[2] woode of ethe[3] 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,
Hylte[4] hys swerde and gaberdyne.


Wythe syke an eyne shee swotelie[5] hymm dydd view,
Dydd foe ycorvenn[6] everrie shape to joie,
Hys spryte dydd chaunge untoe anodherr hue,
Hys armes, ne spoyles, mote anie thoughts emploie.

All delyghtsomme and contente,
Fyre enshotynge[7] fromm hys eyne,
Ynn hys arms hee dydd herr hente[8],
Lyche the merk[9]-plante doe entwyne.
Soe, gyff thou lovest Pleasure and herr trayne,
Onknowlachynge[10] ynn whatt place herr to fynde,
Thys rule yspende[11], and ynn thie mynde retayne;
Seeke Honnoure fyrste, and Pleasaunce lies behynde.
