Errors and Irregularities:
Wherfore you lordes I humby you exhorte [error for humbly?]
But onely Henry the viii.kynge of his name [spacing unchanged]
How / where / or whan I cam nothynge say [“cam”: error for can?]
_The word “cam” could be read as “cain” with missing dot, but an
unambiguous letter “m” with the same defect appears several other
times on this page._
Reconstructed or missing lines:
Descended of kynges dame katheryn of Spayne
For I thynke well and god had sente hym lyfe
Of . . . . . ynde
_The first word can be reconstructed because the page was cut or
bound at a slight angle; the line-ending is entirely invisible but
deducible from the rhyme scheme, as are the endings of the other
missing lines._
Indued with honour / vertue / and prudence
