And lothest were in al this worlde displese  
 Nere it for you I haue suche disese  
 That I moot dye here at your foot anon  
 Nought wolde I telle you me is wo begoon  
 But certis or I muste dye or pleyne  
Ye sle me giltles for verry peyne  
 But of my deth ye haue no routhe  
 Thinkith now vp on your trouthe  
 And repente you for that god aboue  
 Or ye me sle by cause that I you loue  
For Madame wel ye woot what ye haue hight  
 Not that I chalange ony thing of right  
 Of you my souereyn lady but of your grace  
 But in the gardyn yonder in suche a place  
 Ye witen right weel what ye behetyn me  
And in myn hond there your trouthe plight ye  
 To loue me best / god woot ye sayde so  
 Al be it that vnworthy I be therto  
 Madame I speke for the honour of you  
 More than forto saue my hertis lif right now  
I haue ydo as ye comaunded me  
 And yf ye vouchesauf ye mowe se  
 Sith as you list haue your hest in mynde  
 For quyck or ded trewe shul ye me fynde  
 In you lith to do me lyue or deye  
But wel I woot the rockis been a weye  
 He takith his leue and she a stoned stood  
 In al her face nas o drope of blood  
 She wende neuer to come in suche a trappe
