Whan That Aprill With His

Filth And Old Age, I'm Sure You Will Agree, Are Powerful Wardens Upon Chastity.

For Tyme Y-lost May Not Recovered Be.

Time Lost, As Men May See, For Nothing May Recovered Be.

Men Sholde Nat Knowe Of Goddes Pryvetee Ye, Blessed Be Alwey, A Lewed Man That Noght But Oonly His Believe Kan! So Ferde Another Clerk With Astromye, He Walked In The Feelds, For To Prye Upon The Sterres, What Ther Sholde Bifalle, Til He Was In A Marle-pit Yfalle.

Ther Is No Newe Gyse That It Nas Old.
