2395 But hyde thyn harm thou must Alone,
2396 And go forth sole, and make thy mone.
2397 Thou shalt no whyl be in oo stat,
2398 But whylom cold and whylom hat;
2399 Now reed as rose, now yelowe and fade.
2400 Such sorowe, I trowe, thou never hade;
2401 Cotidien, ne [yit] quarteyne,
2402 It is nat so ful of peyne.
2403 For ofte tymes it shal falle
2404 In love, among thy peynes Alle,
2405 That thou thy-self, al hoolly,
2406 Foryeten shalt so utterly,
2407 That many tymes thou shalt be
2408 Stille as an image of tree,
2409 Dom as a stoon, without stering
2410 Of foot or hond, without speking.
2411 Than, sone after al thy peyne,
2412 To memorie shalt thou come Ageyn,
2413 As man abasshed wondre sore,
2414 And after sighen more and more.
2415 For wit thou wel, withouten wene,
2416 In swich astat ful oft have been
2417 That have the yvel of love Assayd,
2418 Wher-through thou art so dismayd.
