43. Lament
I may well sygh for greuous ys my payne
Now to departe fram yow thys sodenly
My fayre swete hert ye cause me to compleyn
ffor lacke of yow y stande full pytously
Alle yn dyscomfort withowten remedy
Most yn my mynde my lady souerayn
Alas for woo departynge hath me slayn
Now to departe fram yow thys sodenly
My fayre swete hert ye cause me to compleyn
ffor lacke of yow y stande full pytously
Alle yn dyscomfort withowten remedy
Most yn my mynde my lady souerayn
Alas for woo departynge hath me slayn
ffare well my myrthe & chefe of my comfort
My Ioy ys turnyd ynto heuynesse
Tyll y agayn to yow may resort
As for the tyme y am but recules
lyke to a fygure wyche that ys hertlees
With yow hyt ys god wote y may not fayne
Alas for woo departynge hath me slayne
My Ioy ys turnyd ynto heuynesse
Tyll y agayn to yow may resort
As for the tyme y am but recules
lyke to a fygure wyche that ys hertlees
With yow hyt ys god wote y may not fayne
Alas for woo departynge hath me slayne
ȝyt not wythstondynge for all my greuaunce
Hyt shall be taken ryght pacyently
And thenke hit ys to me but a plesaunce
ffor yow to suffre a grete dele more truly
Wyll neuer change but kepe vnfeyny[n]gly
With alle my myght to be bothe true & playn
Alas for woo departynge hath me slayn
Hyt shall be taken ryght pacyently
And thenke hit ys to me but a plesaunce
ffor yow to suffre a grete dele more truly
Wyll neuer change but kepe vnfeyny[n]gly
With alle my myght to be bothe true & playn
Alas for woo departynge hath me slayn
