Of pure ymaginacioun;

For thanne this collacioun

I make unto miselven ofte,

And seie, ‘Ha lord, hou sche is softe,

How sche is round, hou sche is smal!

Now wolde god I hadde hire al

Withoute danger at mi wille!’

And thanne I sike and sitte stille, 1150

Of that I se mi besi thoght

Is torned ydel into noght.
