CORBET’S REPLY.
Reading edition
(Ashmole’s Museum, A. 38. Fol. 66.)
Yff nought but love-charmes power have Your blemisht creditt for to save; Then know your champion is blind, And that love-nottes are soon untwinde. But blemishes are now a grace, And add a lustre to your face; Your blemisht credit for to save, You needed not a vayle to have; The rayle for women may be fitte, Because they daylie practice ytt. And, seeing counsell can you not reforme, Read this reply—and take ytt not in scorne.
