She falleth him to fote, and swowneth there

Dischevele, with her brighte gilte here,

And seith, 'have mercy! [let me with yow ryde!]

[Thise lordes], which that wonen me besyde

Wil me destroyen only for your sake.

And, so ye wil me now to wyve take,

As ye han sworn, than wol I yive yow leve

To sleen me with your swerd now sone at eve!
