Classic Poem

Sluggy and slowe, in spetinge muiche,
Cold and moist, my natur is suche;
Dull of wit, and fat, of contenaunce strange,
Fleumatike, this complecion may not change.

Deliberal I am, lovinge and gladde,
Laghinge and playinge, full seld I am sad;
Singinge, full fair of colour, bold to fight,
Hote and moist, beninge, sanguine I hight.

I am sad and soleynge with heviness in thought;
I covet right muiche, leve will I noght;
Fraudulent and suttill, full cold and dry,
Yollowe of colour, colorike am I.

Envius, dissevabill, my skin is roghe;
Outrage in exspence, hardy inoghe;
Suttill and sklender, hote and dry,
Of colour pale, my nam is malencoly.
