Diepe ghepeijs en swaer versuchten

Diepe ghepeys en swaer versuchten,
Heijmlijck lijden lijd ick voertaen.
Ick mach wel claghen, stenen en suchten,
Want mij gaet druck en lijden aen.
Mijn sinnekens verstroijen, mijn ghepeys vaert henen
Wee haer, die mij versuchten doet.
Ick en can, ick en mach mij selven niet ontwenen,
Eens anders eijgen, mijn selfs onvrij goet.
