So blithe as I were, whosoe’er she be.

If gladsome youthfulness

In a fair lover might content a maid,

Virtue and worth discreet,

Valiance or gentilesse,

wit and sweet speech and fashions all arrayed

In pleasantness complete,

Certes. I’m she for whose behoof these meet

In one; for, love-o’erborne,

All these in him who is my hope I see.
