For-thy men seyn, ech contree hath his lawes.
7. Eek scarsly been ther in this place three
That han in love seyd lyk and doon in al;

For to thy purpos this may lyken thee,
And thee right nought, yet al is seyd or [shal];
Eek som men grave in tree, som in stoon wal,
As it [bitit]; but sin I have begonne,
Myn auctor shal I folwen, if I conne.
