Commentary Entered by H7, this poem remains unattributed. This poem is one of a several entries in the manuscript that speaks of counterfeiting feelings in public (see: “Sum summ say I love sum say I moke” (58v); “I am not she be prowess off syt” (65r); “Myght I as well within my song be lay” (65v); “To cowntarffete a mery mode” (65v); “Ceaser whan the traytor of egipte” (70r); and “Whan that I call vnto my mynde” (82v-83r)). In this instance, the speaker explains how they change countenance in public to appear glad when they are not. Works Cited
