By alle the othes that I have yow sworn,

300

And ye be wrooth therfore, or wene I lye,

Ne shal I never seen yow eft with yë.

44. Beth nought agast, ne quaketh nat; wher-to?

Ne chaungeth nat for fere so your hewe;

For hardely, the werste of this is do;

305

And though my tale as now be to yow newe,

Yet trist alwey, ye shal me finde trewe;
