Commentary
This poem, entered by H12, remains unattributed. The entry consists of three full lines and an incomplete fourth line from the preceding poem. The entry directly above it on the same page, Written in Margaret Douglas's hand, provides a seemingly complete version of the poem. Both examples show indications of revision by an unidentified hand. An annotation, “gioye,” appears under the poem in the same hand that has revised the poem above.
