Greting to you both yn hertye wyse

Greting to you both yn hertye wyse
As unknowen I sende, and this mye entente
As I do here, you to advertyse,
Lest that perchaunce your deades you do repente.
The unknowen man dredes not to be shente
But sayes as he thinks : so fares it bye me.
That nother ffere nor hope in no degre.
The bodye and the sowle is helde togidder,
Yt is but right, and reason woll the same.
And fryndelie the oon to love the other,
Yt encresith your beautye and also your fame ;
But marke well my wordes, for I fere no blame,
Truste well yourselves, but ware ye trust no mo
For suche as ye think your frende, may fortune be your ffoo.
Beware frendelye ere ye have enye nede.
And to frendes reconsilide trust not greatelye ;
For they that ons with hastie spede
Exiled themselves oute of your companye,
Tho theye torne againe and speke farelye,
Fayning themselves to be your frendes faste,
Beware of them for thye will disseyve you at laste.
Fayre wordes makis foolys fayne,
And Bering in hande causith moche woo ;
For tyme tryeth trothe, therefore refrayne :
And from suche as be redye to doo :
None doo I name but this I kno,
That bye this faute cause causith moche,
Therefore beware if yo do know anye suche.
" To wise folkes few wordes " is an old sayeng,
Therfore at this tyme I will write nomore.
But this short lesson take for a warning,
By soche light frendes set littill store ;
If ye do otherwise ye will repent it sore ;
And thus of this lettre making an ende,
To the boddye and the sowle I me commend.
Wryting lyfles at the manner place
Of him that hath no chave nor nowere dothe dwell ;
But wandering in the wilde worlde wanting that he base,
And nothr hopis nor tearis heven nor hell ;
But lyveth at adventure ye kno him full well.
The twentie daye of marche he wrote yt yn his house,
And bathe him recommendyd to the kat and the mowse.
