Here cometh in Pouerte.[853]

Pouer. A, my bonys ake, my lymmys be sore;

Alasse, I haue the cyatyca full euyll in my hyppe!

Alasse, where is youth that was wont for to skyppe?

I am lowsy, and vnlykynge, and full of scurffe,

My colour is tawny, colouryd as a turffe:

I am Pouerte, that all men doth hate,

I am baytyd with doggys at euery mannys gate;

I am raggyd and rent, as ye may se;

Full fewe but they haue enuy at me.
