To bringe thee to Ioye out of distresse;

36. And have it brought to swich plyt as thou wost,

So that, thorugh me, thow stondest now in weye

To fare wel, I seye it for no bost,

And wostow why? for shame it is to seye,

For thee have I bigonne a gamen pleye

Which that I never doon shal eft for other,
