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.
