23. Three Sorrowful Tidings

fol. 189rUyche day me cumeth tydinges threo, For wel swithe sore beoth heo: The on is that ich schal heonne; That other, that ich noth hwenne; line5The thridde is my meste kare — That ich not hwider ich scal fare.

fol. 189rEach day three musings come to me, And they’re of great sorrow: One is that I’ll go from hence; The other, that I don’t know when; line5The third is my greatest care — That I don’t know whither I will fare.
