To lerne, saugh I trumpe there.

Ther saugh I sitte in other seës,

Pleyinge upon sondry gleës,

Whiche that I cannot nevene,

Mo then sterres been in hevene,

1255

Of whiche I nil as now not ryme,

For ese of yow, and losse of tyme:

[For tyme y-lost, this knowen ye],

By no way may recovered be.
