The happes over mannes hed

Ben honged with a tendre thred.

That proved was on Uluxes;

For whan he was most in his pes,[848]

Fortune gan to make him werre

And sette his welthe al out of herre.[849]

Upon a dai as he was merie,

As thogh ther mihte him nothing derie,[850] 1520

Whan nyht was come, he goth to bedde,

With slep and bothe his yhen fedde.
