By menys so immoderate encreased was his sadnes,
That by me can not be compyled
His dedly sorowe and dolorous dystres,
Lyfe in hym by deth so ny was exiled.
Hym better to beholde, so ferre oute of frame,
Nerre I nyghed, farsyd with fragyllyte;
Wherwith Smert I perceyued he called was by name,
Which ouer haukes and houndes had auctoryte;
Though the roume vnmete were for his pouer degre,
Yet fortune so hym farthered to his lorde;
