Praise of My Lady

Inside her tender palm and thin.
Now give me pardon, dear, wherein
My voice is weak and vexes thee.
Beata mea Domina!


All men that see her any time,
I charge you straightly in this rhyme,
What, and wherever you may be,
Beata mea Domina!


To kneel before her; as for me,
I choke and grow quite faint to see
My lady moving graciously.
Beata mea Domina!


Beata mea Domina
