How any man may live or laste

In such peyne, and such brenning,

In sorwe and thought, and such sighing,

Ay unrelesed wo to make,

2730

Whether so it be they slepe or wake.

In such annoy continuely,

As helpe me god, this merveile I,

How man, but he were maad of stele,

Might live a month, such peynes to fele.'
