English poem
Pucell
by Stephen Hawes (1474–1523)
Truely, quod she, I am obedient Unto my frendes whych do me so guyde; They shal me rule as is convenient, In the snare of love I wyl nothyng slyde, My chaunce or fortune I wyl yet abide. I thanke you for your love right humbly, But I your cause can nothing remedy.
