That ben encombred of oure lyuys  
 And as thow art a rightful lord and Iuge  
 Ne yeue vs neyther mercy ne refuge  
 But sle me first for saint charite  
 But sle my felow eke as wel as me  
Or ellis hym first for they thou knowe hym lite  
 He is thy mortal fo this is arcite  
 That fro thy lond was banysshed on his hed  
 For whiche he hath deserued to be ded  
 For this is he that cam to thy yate  
And sayde that he highte Philostrate  
 Thus he hath iaped the many a yeer  
 And thow hast maad hym thy chief squyer  
 And this is he that loueth Emely  
 For sithnes the day is come that I shal dy  
I make pleynly my confession  
 That I am that woful Palamon  
 That hath thy prison broke wickedly  
 I am thy mortal fo and he am I  
 That loueth so hote Emely the bright  
That I wil dye here present in her sight  
 Therfore I axe deth of my Iewise  
 But sle my felow in the same wise  
 For bothe haue we deserued to be slayn  
 THis worthy duke ansuerde anon agayn  
And saide this is a short conclusion  
 Your owen mouth be your confession  
 Hath dampned you and I wil it recorde  
 Hit nedith not to peyne with the corde
