| Aurely said she be high god aboue | |
| Yet wol I graunte to be your loue | |
| Syn I se you so pitously compleyne | |
| Loke what day fro Englond to britaigne | |
285 | Ye remeue al the rockis stoon be stoon | |
| That they ne lette ship ne boot to goon | |
| I say whan ye haue made this coste so clene | |
| Of rockis that ther is no stoon I seen | |
| Than wol I loue you best of ony man | |
290 | Haue here my trouthe in al that euer I can | |
| For I woot that it shal neuer betyde | |
| Let suche folye out of your herte a slyde | |
295 | What deynte sholde a man haue in his lyf | |
| Forto go loue anothir mannys wyf | |
| And her had when so that hym likith | |
| Aurilius ful sore ofte he sikith | |
| Is ther none other grace in you quod he | |
| No by that lord that made me | |
| Wo was Aurily whan he this herde | |

| Madame quod he this were impossibil | |
| Than muste I dye in sodeyn deth horribil | |
| And with that word he turned hym anon | |
| Tho com her other frendes many on | |
305 | And in the aleyes romedyn vp an doun | |
| And no thing wistyn of this conclusion | |
| And sodenly begonnen reuel newe | |
| Til the bright sonne lost his hewe | |
