Of confort and of ese founde,

To take of love som repast;

For thogh I with the fulle tast[779]

The lust of love mai noght fiele,

Min hunger otherwise I kiele

Of smale lustes whiche I pike,

And for a time yit thei like;

If that ye wisten what I mene.

Confessor.

Nou, goode Sone, schrif thee clene 740
