To Mistress Margery Wentworth -

by John Skelton
With margeran gentle,
The flower of goodlihood,
Embroidered the mantle
Is of your maidenhood.

Plainly, I cannot glose
Ye be, as I divine,
The pretty primerose,
The goodly columbine.

With margeran gentle,
The flower of goodlihood,
Embroidered the mantle
Is of your maidenhood.

Benign, courteous, and meek,
With wordes well devised,
In you, who list to seek,
Be virtues well comprised.

With margeran gentle,
The flower of goodlihood,
Embroidered the mantle
Is of your maidenhood.
