For alderfirste, doghter, I love thee so
That al the world to me nis half so leef;
[Ne I] nolde rede thee to thy mischeef
For al the gode under the colde mone;
And what I mene, hit shal be seid right sone,
2640
[With protestacioun, as in this wyse],
(80)
That, but thou do as I shal thee devyse,
Thou shalt be deed, by him that al hath wroght!
