282When as thine eye hath chose the Dame,

283And stalde the deare that thou shouldst strike,

284Let reason rule things worthy blame,

285As well as fancy (partyall might)

286 Take counsell of some wiser head,

287 Neither too young, nor yet vnwed.

288And when thou comst thy tale to tell,

289Smooth not thy toung with filed talke,

290Least she some subtill practise smell,

291A Cripple soone can finde a halt,

292 But plainly say thou loust her well,

293 And set her person forth to sale.
