And ther-upon a whyle I stood musing,

And in my-self gretly imagening

15

What wyse I shuld performe the sayd processe,

Considering by good avysement

Myn unconning and my gret simplenesse,

And ayenward the strait commaundement

Which that I had; and thus, in myn entent,

20

I was vexed and tourned up and doun;
