That to yow oghte been a suffisaunce.'
With dredful vois the formel hir answerde,
My rightful lady, goddesse of Nature,

Soth is that I am ever under your yerde,
Lyk as is everiche other creature,
And moot be youres whyl my lyf may dure;
And therfor graunteth me my firste bone,
And myn entente I wol yow sey right sone.'
