With solace and gladness,
Much mirth and no madness,
All good and no badness;
So joyously,
So maidenly,
So womanly,
Her demeaning.

About John Skelton

John Skelton (c. 1460 – June 21, 1529) was an English poet, variously asserted to have been born in Armathwaite, Cumberland, or Yorkshire. Many of his works included scathing indictments of the church or church figures, and although they were likely circulated in his day, they were not officially published until some time after his death.

Thy lust and liking is from thee gone;

That byrd ys not honest
That fylythe hys owne nest.

There is nothynge that more dyspleaseth God,
Than from theyr children to spare the rod.
