Rhyme Scheme: AAAAABBAAAAABB AAAAABB

Madame for youre newefangelnesseA
Many a servant have ye put out of graceA
I take my leve of your unstedefastnesseA
For wel I woot whil ye have lives spaceA
Ye can not love ful half yeer in a placeA
To newe thing youre lust is ay so keeneB
In stede of blew thus may ye were al greeneB
Right as a mirour nothing may enpresseA
But lightly as it cometh so mote it paceA
So fareth youre love youre werkes bereth witnesseA
Ther is no faith that may your herte enbraceA
But as a wedercok that turneth his faceA
With every wind ye fare and this is seeneB
In stede of blew thus may ye were al greeneB
-
Ye might be shrined for youre brothelnesseA
Bet that Dalida Criseide or CandaceA
For ever in chaunging stant youre sikernesseA
That tache may no wight fro yuor herte araceA
If ye lese oon ye can wel twain purchaceA
Al light for somer ye woot wel what I meneB
In stede of blew thus may ye were al greeneB
