But that I dredde, as in my fantasye;

But cesse cause, ay [cesseth maladye].

70. And here I make a protestacioun,

That in this proces if ye depper go,

That certaynly, for no savacioun

Of yow, though that ye sterve bothe two,

Though al the world on o day be my fo,

Ne shal I never on him han other routhe.'—
