of_o the_o faithful_a friendship_n that_o last_v between_o two_o faithful_a friend_n to_o the_o tune_n of_o fly_v fame_n in_o stately_a rome_n sometime_o do_v dwell_v a_o man_n of_o noble_a fame_n who_o have_v a_o son_n of_o seemly_o shape_n alphonso_n be_v his_o name_n when_o he_o be_v grow_v and_o come_v to_o age_n his_o father_n think_v it_o best_o to_o send_v his_o son_n to_o athens_n fair_a where_o wisdom_n school_n do_v rest_n and_o when_o he_o be_v at_o athens_n come_v good_a lector_n for_o to_o learn_v a_o place_n to_o board_v he_o with_o delight_n his_o friend_n do_v well_o discern_v a_o noble_a knight_n of_o athens_n town_n of_o he_o do_v take_v the_o charge_n who_o have_v a_o son_n gancelo_n call_v just_a of_o his_o pitch_n and_o age_n in_o stature_n and_o in_o person_n both_o in_o favour_n speech_n and_o face_n in_o quality_n and_o condition_n eke_o they_o agree_v in_o everle_n place_n so_o like_v they_o be_v in_o all_o respect_n the_o one_o unto_o the_o other_o they_o be_v not_o know_v but_o by_o their_o face_n of_o father_n nor_o of_o mother_n and_o as_o in_o favour_n they_o be_v find_v alike_o in_o all_o respect_n then_o so_o they_o do_v most_o

upon_o a_o time_n it_o chance_v so_o as_o fancy_n do_v he_o move_v that_o he_o will_v visit_v for_o delight_n his_o lady_n and_o his_o love_n and_o to_o his_o true_a and_o faithful_a friend_n he_o do_v declare_v the_o same_o ask_v of_o he_o if_o he_o will_v see_v that_o fair_a and_o comely_a dame_n alphonso_n do_v thereto_o agree_v and_o with_o gancelo_n go_v to_o see_v the_o lady_n which_o he_o love_v which_o breed_v his_o discontent_n but_o when_o he_o cast_v his_o crystal_n eye_n upon_o her_o angel_n hue_n the_o beauty_n of_o that_o lady_n bright_a do_v straight_o his_o heart_n subdue_v his_o gentle_a heart_n so_o wound_v be_v with_o that_o fair_a lady_n face_n that_o afterward_o he_o dally_v live_v in_o sad_a and_o woeful_a case_n and_o of_o his_o grief_n he_o know_v not_o how_o thereof_o to_o make_v a_o end_n for_o that_o he_o know_v the_o lady_n love_n be_v yield_v to_o his_o friend_n thus_o be_v sore_o perplex_v in_o mind_n upon_o his_o bed_n he_o lay_v like_o one_o which_o death_n and_o deep_a despair_n have_v almost_o wear_v away_o his_o friend_n ganselo_n that_o do_v see_v his_o grief_n and_o great_a distress_n at_o length_n resque_v for_o to_o know_v his_o cause_n of_o heaviness_n with_o much_o ado_n at_o length_n he_o tell_v the_o truth_n unto_o his_o friend_n who_o do_v release_v his_o inward_a woe_n with_o comfort_n to_o the_o end_n take_v courage_n then_o dear_a friend_n quoth_v he_o though_o she_o through_o love_n be_v i_o my_o right_n i_o will_v resign_v to_o thou_o the_o lady_n shall_v be_v thou_o you_o know_v our_o favour_n be_v alike_o

in_o my_o friend_n suppose_v it_o be_v i_o you_o shall_v the_o lady_n wed_v alphonso_n be_v so_o well_o pay_v and_o as_o they_o have_v decree_v he_o go_v a_o day_n and_o wed_v plain_a the_o lady_n there_o in_o deed_n but_o when_o the_o nuptial_a feast_n be_v do_v and_o phoebus_n quite_o be_v flee_v the_o lady_n for_o ganselo_n take_v alphonso_n to_o her_o bed_n that_o night_n they_o spend_v

with_o sad_a and_o pensive_a thought_n alas_o ganselo_n wander_v then_o who_o be_v through_o want_n constrain_v to_o beg_v relief_n of_o many_o man_n in_o this_o distress_n oft_o will_v he_o say_v to_o rome_n i_o mean_v to_o go_v to_o seek_v alphonso_n my_o dear_a friend_n who_o will_v relieve_v my_o wo._n to_o rome_n when_o poor_a ganselo_n come_v and_o find_v alphonso_n place_n which_o be_v
