What vtilite is ther, in the carnall bewtye of man? Is not man as drye as hay? And dothe * not his goodly beutye vanyshe awaye, as dothe the shadowe? And when death cōmeth, I pray you tell me, what goodlynesse shall remayne in the bodie? whē ye shall se his body swollē, and turned into all fylthy stynche, and sauer, shall ye not then stop your noose from such vnsauery sauer? And from suche a styn∣kynge bodye? Tell me I praye you where shall his goodly and his amable face be then?
From Middle English amable, amabully, amebill, partly from Middle French amable (modern aimable) and partly from its etymon, Latin amābilis. Doublet of aimable (“likeable”).
