So that my hete plainly, as I fele,
Of grevous cold is causë, every-deel.
This is the cold of inward high disdayne,

Cold of dispyt, and cold of cruel hate;
This is the cold that doth his besy payne
Ayeines trouthe to fighte and to debate.
This is the cold that wolde the fyr abate
Of trewe mening; alas! the harde whyle!
