In March, that chaungeth ofte tyme his face,

And that a cloud is put with wind to flighte

Which [over-sprat] the sonne as for a space,

A cloudy thought gan thorugh hir soule pace,

That over-spradde hir brighte thoughtes alle,

770

So that for fere almost she gan to falle.

111. That thought was this, 'allas! sin I am free,

Sholde I now love, and putte in Iupartye

My sikernesse, and thrallen libertee?
