 Wrastil be verry force and verry myght  
 With ony yong man were he neuer so wight  
There myghte nothing in her armys stonde  
 She kepte her maydenhede from euery wight  
 To noman deyned she to be bonde  
 But atte last her frendis haue her maryed  
 To Onedak a prince of a Cite  
Al were it so . that she hem longe taryed  
 And ye shul vnderstonde how that he  
 Hadde suche fantesies as had she  
 But natheles when they were knet in fere  
 They lyuyd in ioye and infelicite  
For ech of theym hadde other leef and dere  
 Saue o thing that she nolde neuer assent  
 Be no wey that he sholde be her ly  
 But onys for it was her pleyn entent  
 To haue a child the worlde to multiplye  
And also sone as she myghte aspye  
 That she was not with childe with that dede  
 Thanne wolde she suffir hym do his fantesie

 And yf she were with childe at that cast

 Al were this Onedak wilde or tame  
 He gat nomore of here for thus she sayde  
It was to wyuys lecherie and shame  
 In other caas yf men with hem playde
