Min hors is now so fieble and badde,

And al totore is myn arai,[1215]

And every yeer this freisshe Maii

These lusti ladis ryde aboute,

In this manere as ye now se,[1216]

And trusse here haltres forth with me,

And am bot as here horse knave.

Non other office I ne have, 1400

Hem thenkth I am worthi nomore,
