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.

The noble Chaucer, of makaris flouir,
The Monk of Bery, and Gower, all three;
Timor mortis conturbat me.
