CLXII
[Sche that shuld most, percevythe lest]
Sche that shuld most, percevythe lest
The vnffayned sufferance of my gret smart;
Yt ys to her sport to haue me oprest;
But theay of suche lyffe whiche be expert
Say that I borne vnsertayne in my hart:
But wher jug ye? no mor! ye kno not.
Ye ar to blame to saye I cam to late.
The vnffayned sufferance of my gret smart;
Yt ys to her sport to haue me oprest;
But theay of suche lyffe whiche be expert
Say that I borne vnsertayne in my hart:
But wher jug ye? no mor! ye kno not.
Ye ar to blame to saye I cam to late.
To lat? naye, to soon methynke Rather,
Thus to be intretyd and haue seruyd ffaythffully.
Lo! thus am I Rewardyd amonge the other.
I thoughe vnvysyd whiche was to besye,
Ffor ffere of to late I cam to hastylye;
But thether I cam not, yet cam I ffor all that:
But whether so euer I cam, I cam to late.
Thus to be intretyd and haue seruyd ffaythffully.
Lo! thus am I Rewardyd amonge the other.
I thoughe vnvysyd whiche was to besye,
Ffor ffere of to late I cam to hastylye;
But thether I cam not, yet cam I ffor all that:
But whether so euer I cam, I cam to late.
Who hathe mor cause to playn then I?
Ther as I am jugyd to lat, I came;
And there as I cam, I cam to hastylye.
Thus may I playn as I that am
Mysjugyd, mysintretyd more then any man.
Now juge, let se of this debate,
Whether I cam to hastelye, or to late.
Ther as I am jugyd to lat, I came;
And there as I cam, I cam to hastylye.
Thus may I playn as I that am
Mysjugyd, mysintretyd more then any man.
Now juge, let se of this debate,
Whether I cam to hastelye, or to late.
