Quoted in ibid., p. 123.
Fiez-vous y en vos servans
Dehure en avant, mes demoiselles,
Et vous vous trouverés de celles
Qui en ont eu des décepvans.
Ils son en leurs ditz, observans
Motz plus doulx que doulces pucelles,
Fiés-vous-y.
En leurs cueurs ils sont conservans,
Pour decepvoir, maintes cautelles,
Et puis que ils ont leurs fassons telles,
Touts ainsi comme abavantz
Fiés-vous-y.

Belles paroles en paiement,
A ces mignons présumptieux
Qui contrefont les amoureux,
Par beau samblant et aultrement,
Sans nul credo, mais promptement,
Donnés pour recompense a eulx
Belles paroles.
Mot pour mot, c’est fait justement,
Ung pour ung, aussi deulx pour deulx,
Se devis ils font gracieulx,
Respondés gracieusement
Belles paroles.

The list of Mary Tudor’s ladies paid for the period Oct. to Dec. 1514 includes Marie Boulonne, but not Anne [Paris, BNF, MS fr.7853, f. 305b]. The list includes Anne de Boulogne and Magdaleine de Boulogne, but these had been paid from 1509 [ibid., ff. 311, 313]. I am indebted to R. J. Knecht for the references to this MS, which is of extracts from a lost original. The names agree with those in
LP,
i.3357, except for the payment to Mary Fiennes, which must argue for the reliability of the transcription.

ed. W. Jerdan, Camden Soc., 21 (1842), p. 38 divides this entry into two, and

[LP,
iii.1946], possibly before 26 Dec. 1521 [ibid., iii.1947], making it certain that Anne left France in 1521.

Quinn, in

, 12, 333. James was at court until at least 27 Aug. 1526

James Butler was in Ireland from at least 27 Dec. 1527 to 20 May 1528, at court on 26 June 1528 and in Ireland again by 18 Sept. 1528 [
LP
, iv.3698, 3922, 3952, 4283, 4422, 4748]. For a convincing identification of the Windsor Holbein ‘Ormond’ [Parker,
Drawings,
no. 23] as James Butler, see David Starkey, ‘Holbein’s Irish sitter?’ in
Burlington Magazine,
123 (1981), 300-3.

Anglo,
Spectacle
, pp. 121, 179-80. It is clear from Hall’s account that Henry was not Ardent Desire [
pace
Anglo, ibid., p. 121 ]. Since Ardent Desire was a speaking role in dialogue with the Children, he was probably not a courtier at all. Cornish had played similar roles in other entertainments [ibid., pp. 119-20].
