LXXVI

[Venemus thornes that ar so sharp and kene]

Venemus thornes that ar so sharp and kene
Sometyme ber flowers fayre and fresh of hue;
Poyson offtyme is put in medecene
And cawsith helth in man for to renue;
Ffyre that purgith allthing that is vnclene
May hele, and hurt: and if these bene true,
58

I trust somtyme my harme may be my helth,
Syns every wo is joynid with some welth.
