<PRE>
Somewhat musing
And more mourning
In remembering
The unsteadfastness;
This world being
Of such wailing
Me contrarying,
What may I guess?

I fear doubtless
Remedyless
Is now to cease
My woeful chance;
For unkindness
Withouten less
And no redress,
Me doth advance.

With displeasaunce
To my great grievance
And no surance
Of remedy;
Lo! in this trance
Now in substance
Such is my dance,
Willing to die.

Me thinketh truly
Bounden am I
And that greatly
To be content;
Saying plainly,
Fortune doth wry
All contrary
For mine intent.

My life was lent
To an intent.
It is nigh spent;
Welcome, fortune!
Yet I ne meant
Thus to be shent,
But she it meant,
Such is her wone.
