THe egles byrde hath spred his wings And from far of, hathe taken flyght In whiche meane way by no leurings On bough or braunch this birde wold light Till on the rose, both red and whight He lighteth now, moste lovinglie And therto moste behovinglie. The monthe ensuing next to June This birde, this floure for perche doth take Retoysinglie him selfe to prune He rousith, rypelie to awake Upon this perche to chose his make Concluding strayght for rype right rest In the lions boure, to bilde his nest A birde, a beast to make to choose Namelie the beaste most furious It may seeme straunge, and so it doose And to this birde injurious It semthe a case right curious To make construction in suche sens As may stande for this birds defens But marke, this lion so by name Is properlie a lambe tassyne No lion wilde, a lion tame No rampant lion masculyne The lamblike lion feminyne Whole milde meeke propertie aleurth This birde to light, and him asseurth The egles birde, the egles eyre All other birds far surmounting The crounid lion, matcheth feyre Croune unto croune, this birde dothe bring A queenelie queene, a kinglie king Thus, lyke to lyke here matched is What matche may match more mete then this So meete a matche in parentage So meete a matche in dignite So meete a matche in patronage, So meete matche in benignite, So macht from all malignite As (thankes to god gyven for the same) Seelde hathe ben seene, thus sayth the fame
