[Some be lewde, &c.] 12

[leaf 135, back] Some cane part with-outen hire,
And some make bate in eueri chire,
And some cheke mate with oure Sir_e_,
Yit all they be nat so. 16
Some be lewde,
and sume be schreued_e_,
go wher they goo.

Som be browne, and some be whit, 20
And some be tender as a ttripe,
And some of theym be chiry ripe,
Yit all thei be not soo.
Sume be lewde, 24
and some be schrewed_e_,
go wher they goo.

Some of the{m~} be treue of love
Benetħ þe gerdel̴l̴, but nat above, 28
And in a hode aboue cane chove,
Yit all thei do nat soo.
Some be lewde,
and some be schreud_e_, 32
go where they goo.

Some cane whister, & some cane crie,
Some cane flater, and some can lye,
And some cane sette þe moke awrie, 36
Yit all thei do nat soo.
