Somtyme to mery, somtyme to madde;

Somtyme I syt as I were solempe prowde;

Somtyme I laughe ouer lowde;

Somtyme I wepe for a gew gaw;

Somtyme I laughe at waggynge of a straw;

With a pere my loue you may wynne,

And ye may lese it for a pynne.

I haue a thynge for to say,

And I may tende therto for play; 1030

But in faythe I am so occupyed
