'Ne wolt thou nat,' quod he, this cruel man,

'As wisly Iupiter my soule save,

As I shal in the stable slee thy knave,

And leye him in thy bed, and loude crye,

(130)

That I thee finde in suche avouterye;

1810

And thus thou shalt be deed, and also lese

Thy name, for thou shalt non other chese.'
