Vnto this houre, this present lucklesse howre,

I neuer ioyed happinesse nor rest,

But thus turmoild from one to other stowre,

I wast my life, and doe my daies deuowre

In wretched anguishe and incessant woe,

Passing the measure of my feeble powre,

That living thus, a wretch and[167] louing so,

I neither can my loue, ne yet my life forgo.

Then good sir Claribell him thus bespake, xl

Now were it not sir Scudamour to you[168]
