[And leve] herafter that I may yow finde
To me and to my suster here so kinde,
That I repente nat to give yow lyf!
[Yit were hit better] that I were your wyf,

Sin that ye been as gentil born as I,
And have a rëaume, nat but faste by,
Then that I suffred giltles yow to sterve,
Or that I let yow as a page serve;
Hit is not [profit], as unto your kinrede;
