And ther-with-al his body sholde sterte,
And with the stert al sodeinliche awake,
And swich a fele aboute his herte, 255
That of the feer his body sholde quake;
And there-with-al he sholde a noyse make,
And seme as though he sholde falle depe
From heighe a-lofte; and than he wolde wepe,
And rewen on him-self so pitously, 260
That wonder was to here his fantasye.

From heighe a-lofte; and than he wolde wepe,
