I can dyssemble, I can bothe laughe and grone;

Playne delynge and I can neuer agre;

But dyuysyon, dyssencyon, dyrysyon, these thre 710

And I am counterfet of one mynde and thought,

By the menys of myschyef to bryng all thynges to nought.

And though I be so odyous a geste,

And euery man gladly my company wolde refuse,

In faythe yet am I occupyed with the best;

Full fewe that can themselfe of me excuse.

Whan other men laughe, than study I and muse,
