Councell me ledde, for to take my reste.

The night was wete, and also tenebrous;

But I my selfe, with sorowe opprest,

Dyd often muse what was for me best

Unto my fayre lady for to tell or saye,

And all my drede was for fere of a naye.

Though that my bedde was easy and softe,

Yet dyd I tomble, I myght not lye styll;

On every syde I tourned me ful ofte,

Upon the love I had so set my wyll,
