English text
That was my joy is now my woo and payne;
That was my bliss is now my displesaunce;
That was my trust is now my wanhope playne;
That was my wele is now my most grevaunce.
What causyth thisn but only yowre plesaunce,
Onryghtfully shewyng me unkyndness
That hath byn your fayre lady and mastres.
Nor nought cowde have, wolde I nevyr so fayne.
My hart is yours with so gret assuraunce
Wherfore of ryght ye shuld my greffe complayne,
And with pite have me in remembraunce;
Much the rathir sith my suryd constaunce
Wolde in no wyse for joy nor hevyness
Have but yourselfe, fayre lady and mastress.
