All Idle iche hate, [629] for All Active is my name;
A wafirer [630] well ye wyt; and serve many lordes,
And few robes I get, or faire furred gownes.
Could I lye, to do [631] men laugh; then lachen [632] I should
Nother mantill, nor money, amonges lords minstrels:
And, for [633] I can neither taber, ne trumpe, ne tell no gestes,
Fartin ne fislen, at feastes, ne harpen;
Jape, ne juggle, ne gentilly pype,
Ne neither saylen ne saute, [634] ne singe to the gytterne,
I have no good giftes to please the great lordes.
