1 Ffavour is fair, in luvis lair,
2 ȝit freindschip mair, bene to co[m]mend
3 Bot quhair despair, bene adwersare
4 Nothing Is thair, Bot wofull End

2
5 Off men I mene, In serwice bene
6 of venus quene, but conforting
7 Be thame I wene, That mon sustene
8 The kairis kene, of cupeid king

3
9 Continwance, In cupeidis dance,
10 But discrepance, withowt remeid
11 Sic was my chance, in observance,
12 but reco[m]pance, my lyfe to leid

4
13 Hir court he Io, quhair evir thay go (mark, looks like $)
14 the lyfe is so, scho dois thame len
15 Quhair his hes wo, wtowttin ho,
16 he is sic fo, Till faythfull men

5
17 I speik expart, Suppois I smart
18 That scho hes gart, me thus lame[n]t
19 Bot this same darte, may causs hir harte
20 heir eftirwart, also repent

6
21 Sen so I se, to leif in le,
22 at libbertie, Is weill but wo
23 happie Is he, I say for me
24 Quhen he is fre, can hald him so

Ffinis q
