Quis dabit capiti meo fontem lacrimarum1
Who shal yeue vn to myn hede a well .2
Of bitter terys my sorowes to compleyne .
Or a grete conduyt or troubly waters fell .
Downe to distill frome myne eyne tweyne .
To shew þe constreynt of my dedly peyne .
Whan I allas behelde and dide see .
Notes
  1. The title is in a somewhat sloppy textura rotunda rather than the anglicana of the main body of the text.
  2. There is no guide letter, but there is a mark to the left of the space that may indicate the same intent.
