| | That ye shul be as lewd as fele gees | |
| | That reckith not of here auctoritees | |
| | I woot wel this though this Salamon | |
| | Fond of vs women mo foolis than on | |
| 1035 | But though he ne fond no good woman | |
| | I pray you take the sentence of the man | |
| 1045 | He ment thus that in souereyn bounte | |
| | Nys non but god that sittith in tryynte | |
| | Ey for very god that nys but on | |
| | What make ye so muche of Salamon | |
| | What though he made a tempyl goddis hous | |
| 1050 | What though he were riche and glorious | |
| | So made he eke a tempyl of false goddis | |
| | How myghte he do a thing that more bad is | |
| | Parde as fayre as ye his name enplastre | |
| | He was a lechour and eke an ydolaster | |
| 1055 | And in his elde he verry god forsook | |
| | And yf god ne hadde as saith the book | |
| | Asparyd for his fadris sake he sholde | |
| | Haue lost his regne rathir than he wolde | |
| | I yeue right nought of al the velonye | |
| 1060 | That he of women writith a butter flye | |
| | I am a woman nedis y muste speke | |
| | Or ellis swelle til myn herte to breke | |
| | For sithen ye sey that we be Iangeleressis | |
| | As euer hool I moot broke my tressis | |
| 1065 | I shal not spare now for no curtesie | |
| | To speke hym harm that wolde vs velonye | |
| | Dame quod this Pluto be no lenger wroth | |
