And therto so wel fortuned and thewed,

That through the world hir goodnesse is y-shewed.

What wonder is then, thogh that I besette

My servise on suche oon, that may me knette

To wele or wo, sith hit lyth in hir might?

Therfor my herte for ever I to hir hette;

Ne trewly, for my dethe, I shal not lette

To ben hir trewest servaunt and hir knight.
