Beware alway of doubleness.

Also that the fresh summer flowers,

The white and red, the blue and green,

Be suddenly with winter showers,

Made faint and fade, withouten ween;

That trust is none, as ye may seen,

In no thing, nor no steadfastness,

Except in women, thus I mean;

Yet aye beware of doubleness.
