Thou schalt me schriven at this time,

I prai the let me noght mistime 220

Mi schrifte, for I am destourbed

In al myn herte, and so contourbed,

That I ne may my wittes gete,

So schal I moche thing foryete:[244]

Bot if thou wolt my schrifte oppose

Fro point to point, thanne I suppose,

Ther schal nothing be left behinde.[245]

Bot now my wittes ben so blinde,
