I was with pope & cardynall,& with bisshoppis & prestis gret & small,
Yet was neuer non of them all

Now covitise begynneth to wake,& lechery ys to hym take,
& seyth his joy may not slake,
That hath ynowgh, & can say ‘whoo.’
For sothe, I hold [hym well & with owt woo,
Þat hath ynowgh, & can say ‘whoo.’]

I was with emprowr, kyng & knyght,With duke, erle, baron & lady bright,
Yet was non of them, to my sight,
That had ynowgh / & cowld say ‘who.’
For soth, I hold [hym well & with owt woo,
Þat hath ynowgh, & can say ‘whoo.’]

Whan all thyngis fall a-way,Than covetyse begyneth to play,
He is not here / I dare well say,
That hath ynowgh, & can say ‘who.’
For soth, I hold [hym well & with owt woo,
Þat hath ynowgh, & can say ‘whoo.’]
