So cruel prison how could betide alas	A
As proud Windsor Where I in lust and joy	B
With a king's son my childish years did pass	A
In greater feast than Priam's sons of Troy	B
Where each sweet place returns a taste full sour	C
The large green courts where we were wont to hove	D
With eyes cast up unto the maidens' tower	C
And easy sighs such as folk draw in love	E
The stately salles the ladies bright of hue	F
The dances short long tales of great delight	G
With words and looks that tigers could but rue	F
Where each of us did plead the other's right	G
The palm play where despoiled for the game	H
With dazed eyes oft we by gleams of love	E
Have miss'd the ball and got sight of our dame	H
To bait her eyes which kept the leads above	E
The gravel'd ground with sleeves tied on the helm	I
On foaming horse with swords and friendly hearts	J
With cheer as though the one should overwhelm	I
Where we have fought and chased oft with darts	J
With silver drops the mead yet spread for ruth	K
In active games of nimbleness and strength	L
Where we did strain trailed by swarms of youth	K
Our tender limbs that yet shot up in length	L
The secret groves which oft we made resound	M
Of pleasant plaint and of our ladies' praise	N
Recording oft what grace each one had found	M
What hope of speed what dread of long delays	N
The wild forest the clothed holt with green	O
With reins aval'd and swift ybreathed horse	P
With cry of hounds and merry blasts between	O
Where we did chase the fearful hart a force	P
The void walls eke that harbor'd us each night	G
Wherewith alas revive within my breast	Q
The sweet accord such sleeps as yet delight	G
The pleasant dreams the quiet bed of rest	Q
The secret thoughts imparted with such trust	R
The wanton talk the divers change of play	S
The friendship sworn each promise kept so just	R
Wherewith we pass'd the winter nights away	S
And with this thought the blood forsakes the face	T
The tears berain my cheeks of deadly hue	F
The which as soon as sobbing sighs alas	A
Upsupped have thus I my plaint renew	F
O place of bliss renewer of my woes	U
Give me account where is my noble fere	F
Whom in thy walls thou didst each night enclose	U
To other lief but unto me most dear	F
Echo alas that doth my sorrow rue	F
Returns thereto a hollow sound of plaint	R
Thus I alone where all my freedom grew	F
In prison pine with bondage and restraint	R
And with remembrance of the greater grief	V
To banish the less I find my chief relief	V
