     Thise vers of gold and blak y-writen were,
     The whiche I gan a stounde to beholde,
     For with that oon encresed ay my fere,
     And with that other gan myn herte bolde ;
     That oon me hette, that other did me colde,
     No wit had I, for errour, for to chese,
     To entre or flee, or me to save or lese.
