In dyeng made his complainte
En se mourant fist sa complainte
against thre man of this house
contre trois hommes de ceans
wherof one of them hath deceived many
dont lung diceulz a diceu maintes
as ben customed all phisiciens
come seulent tous phisiciens
for I have herde say to the ancientes
car jay ouy dire aux anciens
that with our peril they lerne,
qua nos perilz font discipline,
that which may be proved by Plyny.
ce qui se peult prouuer par Pline.
The other whiche was his enemy
Laultre qui fust son ennemy
is called maistre amener,
sapelle monsieur laumosnier,
whiche at the fyrst to him was lovyng
qui au premier luy fust amy
cherisshyng him as a frynde dere,
le festoiant come amy chier,
but at the ende of a hert of stele
mais en la fin dung coeur dacier
him renouncynge put him in oblivion,
le renoncant mist en oubly,
wherof he died for great thought.
dont il mourust par grant soucy.
The thirde that best him dyd mainten
Le tiers qui mieulz le maintenoit
had it nat ben for his absence
se neust este pour son absence
