I that in heill wes and gladness,Am trublit now with gret seiknes,And feblit with infermité;Timor mortis conturbat me.Our plesance heir is all vane glory,This fals warld is bot transitory,The flesche is brukle, the Fend is sle;Timor mortis conturbat me.
william dunbarFor love is mor than gold or gret richesse; Gold faileth ofte; love wol abyde.
john lydgateEk gret effect men write in place lite; Th'entente is al, and nat the lettres space.
Geoffrey Chaucer
