Now have I tolde you all the veray trouthe

Of my wofull chaunce and great unhappynesse.

I praye you nothyng wyth me to be wrothe,

Whyche am drouned in carefull wrethchednesse,

By fortune plunged ful of doublenes.

A, a! said Counseyle, doubte ye never a dele,

But your disease I shal by wysdome hele.

Remember yet, that never yet was he,

That in this worlde dyd lede all his lyfe

In joye and pleasure, wythout adversyte;
