As possible is, and kepe al thing secree
Right as your-selven liste that I do;

And elles moot myn herte breste a-two.'
Ful hard it is to knowe a mannes herte;
For outward may no man the trouthe deme;
When word out of his mouthe may noon asterte
But it by reson any wight shuld queme,

So is it seyd of herte, as hit wolde seme.
