V. EPIGRAME.

I sicknes took me late agoe
That greveth me at euery Ioynt;
No part of me is voyde of woe,
But yet my harte is worst in poynt.
I asked at a skilfull man
If he could tell my greife aboue:
He said: “my frind for soothe I can;
Thou arte with chylde of feruent loue;
And since thou haste no better chance,
God send the good deliuerance.”
Finis.
