| 1205 | Chese it your self whiche may be more plesaunce | |
| | And most honour to you and to me also | |
| | I do no force whethir of the two | |
| | But as you likith it suffisith to me | |
| | Than I haue gote of you the maistrye quod she | |
| 1210 | Syn I may chese and gouerne you as me list | |
| | Ye certis wyf quod he I holde it for the best | |
| | Kys me quod she we be no lengir wroth | |
| | For be my trouthe quod she I wol to you be both | |
| | That is to say bothe fair and eek good | |
| 1215 | I pray to god that I muste sterue wood | |
| | But I to you be also good and trewe | |
| | As euer was wyf syn the worlde was newe | |
| | And but I be to morow as fair to sene | |
| | As ony lady Emperesse or quene | |
| 1220 | That is betwixt the est and the west | |
| | Doth with my lyf and deth as you list | |
| | And so they slepte til it was morow gray | |
| | And then she sayde whan it was day | |
| | Cast vp the curten loke how it is | |
| | And when the knyght saw verily al this | |
| | That she so fair was and so yong therto | |
| 1225 | For ioye he hent hir in his armys two | |
| | His herte was bathid in a bath of blis | |
| | A thousand tyme arowe he gan hir kis | |
| | She obeyed hym in euery thing | |
| | That mighte do hym plesaunce or likyng | |
| 1230 | And thus they lyue vnto her lyues ende | |
| | And parfyt ioye as Ihu vs sende | |
