Alas! what pleasure, and eke wythout disporte,

Shall I now have, whan that ye be gone?

Ha, ha! truly now wythout good conforte,

My dolorous herte shall be left alone,

Wythout your presence to me is none;

For every houre I shall thynke a yere,

Tyll fortune brynge me unto you more nere.

Yet after you I wyll not be ryght longe,

But hast me after as faste as I maye;

In the toure of Chyvalry I shall make me stronge,
