4483 Dre also, and Ielousie,
4484 And wikked tunge, full of envie,
4485 Of whiche the sharpe and cruel ire
4486 ffull ofte me putte in gret martire.
4487 They han my ioye fully lette,
4488 Sith Bialacoil they have bishette
4489 ffro me in prisoun wikkidly,
4490 Whom I love so entierly,
4491 That it wole my bane bee,
4492 But I the sonner may hym see.
4493 And yit more over, wurst of All,
4494 Ther is sette to kepe, foule hir bifall!
4495 A rympled vekke, ferre ronne in Age,
4496 ffrownyng and yelowe in hir visage,
4497 Which in a wayte lyth day and nyght,
4498 That noon of hem may have a sight.
4499 Now mote my sorwe enforced be;
4500 ffull soth it is, that love yaf me
4501 Three wonder yiftes of his grace,
4502 Whiche I have lorn now in this place,
4503 Sith they ne may, withoute drede,
4504 Helpen but lytel, who taketh heede.
4505 ffor here availeth no swete thought,
4506 And sweete speche helpith right nought.
