Mi Sone, and riht in such manere

Ther be lovers of hevy chiere,

That sorwen mor than it is ned,[1421]

Whan thei be taried of here sped 3450

And conne noght hemselven rede,

Bot lesen hope forto spede

And stinten love to poursewe;

And thus thei faden hyde and hewe,

And lustles in here hertes waxe.
