The false theef! what hath she do,

Trowest thou? by our lord, I wol thee seye.

Atte ches with me she gan to pleye;

With hir false draughtes divers

She stal on me, and took my fers.

And whan I saw my fers aweye,

Alas! I couthe no lenger pleye,

But seyde, "farwel, swete, y-wis,

And farwel al that ever ther is!"
