    Mai ster boungrace
    Plainelye it was thy shadow that thou dide st see
    For in fayth the other thyng is not pa s s ible to be
    Careawaye
    1020yes in good faith syr by youre leaue
    I know it was I by my apples in my sleue
    And speakith as like me as euer you harde
    Suche here,such a Cape,such Hose and cote
    And in euery thing as iu st as.iiii.pens to a grote
    1025That if he were here you should well see
    That you could not discern nor know hĩ frõ me
    For thinke you that I do not my selfe knowe
    I am not so foli she a knaue I trowe
    Let who woll looke him by and by
    1030And he woll depose vpon a boke that he is I
    And I dare well say you woll saye the same
    For he called hym selfe by my owne name
    And tolde me all that I haue done
    Syth fiue of the cloke this after none
    1035He could tell when you were to supper sete
    you send me home my mai steris to fete
    And shewed me all thinges that I dyd by ye waie
    Boungrace
    What was that
    1040 Careawaye
    How I dyd at the bukelers playe
    And whã I scaterid a basket of apples frõ a stall
    And gethered them into my sleue all
    And how I played after that also
    1045 Boungrace
    Thou shalt haue by therfore so mote I go
    Is that the guise of a tru stie page
