[I se the change ffrom that that was]

I se the change ffrom that that was
And how thy ffayth hath tayn his fflyt
But I with pacyense let yt pase
And with my pene thys do I wryt
To show the playn by prowff off syght,
I se the change.
I se the change off weryd mynd
And sleper hold hath quet my hyer;
Lo! how by prowff in the I ffynd
A bowrnyng ffath in changyng ffyer.
Ffarwell my part, prowff ys no lyer!
I se the change.
I se the change off chance in loue;
Delyt no lenger may abyd;
What shold I sek ffurther to proue?
No, no, my trust, ffor I haue tryd
The ffolloyng of a ffallse gyd:
I se the change.

I se the change, as in thys case,
Has mayd me ffre ffrom myn avoo,
Ffor now another has my plase,
And or I wist, I wot ner how,
Yt hapnet thys as ye here now:
I se the change.
I se the change, seche ys my chance
To sarue in dowt and hope in vayn;
But sens my surty so doth glanse,
Repentens now shall quyt thy payn,
Neuer to trust the lyke agayn:
I se the change.
