CXLIV

          If in the world there be more woe
                    Than I have in my heart,
          Whereso it is, it doth come fro
          And in my breast there doth it grow
                    For to increase my smart.
Alas, I am receipt of every care
And of my life each sorrow claims his part.
                    Who list to live in quietness
                    But me let him beware,
                    For I by high disdain
                    Am mad without redress,
          And unkindness, alas, hath slain
          My poor true heart all comfortless.
