I can with a word make him fain or loth;

I can with as much make him pleased or wroth;

I can, when I will, make him merry and glad;

I can, when me lust, make him sorry and sad;

I can set him in hope, and eke in despair;

I can make him speak rough, and make him speak fair.

But I marvel I see him not all this same day:

I will seek him out. But lo! he cometh this way.

I have yond espied him sadly coming,

And in love, for twenty pound, by his gloming.[44]
