For he yit nevere unpitously
Ayein the liges of his lond,[1826]
For no defaute which he fond,
Thurgh cruelte vengaunce soghte;
And thogh the worldes chaunce in broghte[1827]
Of infortune gret debat,
Yit was he not infortunat:3000*
For he which the fortune ladde,
The hihe god, him overspradde
Of his Justice, and kepte him so,[1828]
