When fortune list yewe here assent,
What is too deme þat may be doo?
What is too deme þat may be doo?
There schapeth nought from her entent,
ffor as sche will it goth ther-to;
All passith by her iugement,
The hy astate, the pore all-so.
When ffortune.
ffor as sche will it goth ther-to;
All passith by her iugement,
The hy astate, the pore all-so.
When ffortune.

To lyve in ioy out of turment,
Seyng the worlde goth too and fro—
Thus is my schort aviseament,
As hyt comyth so lete it go!
When ffortune.
Seyng the worlde goth too and fro—
Thus is my schort aviseament,
As hyt comyth so lete it go!
When ffortune.
