Outwith, for ther was no plesance;[1762]

And thanne into my remembrance

I drowh myn olde daies passed,

And as reson it hath compassed,

Quod status hominis Mensibus anni equiperatur.[1763]

I made a liknesse of miselve

Unto the sondri Monthes twelve,

Wherof the yeer in his astat

Is mad, and stant upon debat, 2840

That lich til other non acordeth.
