Calliope;
As ye may see,
Regent is she
Of poets all,
Which gave to me
The high degree
Laureate to be
Of fame royal;
Whose name enrolled
With silk and gold
I dare be bold
Thus for to wear.
Of her I hold
And her household;
Though I wax old
And sometime sere,
Yet is she fain,
Void of disdain,
Me to retain
Her servitor:
With her certain
I will remain
As my sovereign
Most of pleasure.
