O Yonge fresshe folkes, he or she
In which that love up groweth with your age
Repeyreth hoom from worldly vanitee
And of your herte up-casteth the visage
To thilke god that after his image
Yow made, and thinketh al nis but a fayre
This world, that passeth sone as floures fayre
And loveth him, the which that right for love
Upon a cros, our soules for to beye
First starf, and roos, and sit in hevene a-bove;
For he nil falsen no wight, dar I seye
That wol his herte al hoolly on him leye
And sin he best to love is, and most meke
What nedeth feyned loves for to seke?
In which that love up groweth with your age
Repeyreth hoom from worldly vanitee
And of your herte up-casteth the visage
To thilke god that after his image
Yow made, and thinketh al nis but a fayre
This world, that passeth sone as floures fayre
And loveth him, the which that right for love
Upon a cros, our soules for to beye
First starf, and roos, and sit in hevene a-bove;
For he nil falsen no wight, dar I seye
That wol his herte al hoolly on him leye
And sin he best to love is, and most meke
What nedeth feyned loves for to seke?
