    What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed shaken by the wind? What then did you go out to see? Someone dressed in soft robes? Look, those who wear soft robes are in royal palaces. What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

    And eke the heavy plight
    Of me, that wonted to rejoice
    The fortunes of my pleasant choice.
    Good ladies, help to fill my mourning voice.
