To rede and here of Troilus,
Riht as sche wole or so or thus,[1354]
I am al redi to consente.
And if so is that I mai hente
Somtime among a good leisir,
So as I dar of mi desir 2800
I telle a part; bot whanne I preie,
Anon sche bidt me go mi weie[1355]
And seith it is ferr in the nyht;
And I swere it is even liht.
