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]
