And whan yow list, ye may come here ayeyn;

And, er ye gon, thus muche I seye yow here:

As helpe me Pallas with hir heres clere,

If that I sholde of any Greek han routhe,

It sholde be your-selven, by my trouthe!

144. I sey not therfore that I wol yow love,

Ne I sey not nay, but in conclusioun,

I mene wel, by god that sit above:'—
