This Iuge I, Nature, for I may not lyë;

630

To noon estat I have non other yë.

But as for counseyl for to chese a make,

If hit were reson, certes, than wolde I

Counseyle yow the royal tercel take,

As seide the tercelet ful skilfully,

635

As for the gentilest and most worthy,

Which I have wroght so wel to my plesaunce;
