†And ever y-lyke fair, and fresh of hewe;

[And I love hit, and ever y-lyke newe],

*And ever shal, til that myn [herte] dye;

*[Al] swere I nat, [of this] I wol nat lye,

*Ther loved no wight hotter in his lyve.

*And whan that hit is eve, I renne blyve,

As sone as ever the sonne ginneth [weste],

To seen this flour, how it wol go to reste,

For fere of night, so hateth she derknesse!
