That nought desireth but your freendly chere,

I see him deye, ther he goth up-right,

And hasteth him, with al his fulle might,

335

For to be slayn, if fortune wol assente;

Allas! that god yow swich a beautee sente!

49. If it be so that ye so cruel be,

That of his deeth yow liste nought to recche,

That is so trewe and worthy, as ye see,
