O owght on absence, ther foolys have no grace,

I mene mysylf, nor yet no wytt to gwye

Theym owt of peyne to com on to that place,

Wher as presence may shape a remedye;

For al dysease, now fye on my folye,

For I dyspeyryd am of your soone metyng,

That God I prey me to your presence bryng.

Farwell, my lord, for I may wryght no more,

So trowblyd is my hert with hevynesse;

Envye also, it grewyth me most sore,
