LXXXVIII

[I lede a liff vnpleasant, nothing glad]

I lede a liff vnpleasant, nothing glad;
Crye and complaynt offerre, voydes Joyfullnesse;
So chaungethe vnrest that nought shall fade;
Payne and dyspyte hathe altered plesantnes
Ago, long synnys, that she hathe truly made,
Dysdayne for trowght sett lyght yn stedfastnes,
I haue cause goode to syng this song:
Playne or reioyse, who felythe wele or wrong.
