Visible to anyone in the world

There were three lords sate in an ale-hoos

Lamenting that their lot could scarce be wors.

Then an of them gan say, O Woe is me, O lack a day!

So swells the numbers under me, swich growing responsibility.

In compensatioun do I not deserve more moneye soon?

The next man then took up the doleful tune

Mine company grows less and less each day

It is full hard, by Goddes blood I should get more pay.

And then the third began, and thus did groan

My station is the hardest of us three, by Christs bones.

I've held allĀ my estates the same, but still no bonus.

Luckily they were all on the same remuneration committee.
