Mi love scholde so be sene,

Ther scholde go no pride a place.

Bot I am ferr fro thilke grace,

As forto speke of tyme now;[445]

So mot I soffre, and preie yow[446] 2380

That ye wole axe on other side

If ther be eny point of Pride,

Wherof it nedeth to be schrive.

Confessor.

Mi Sone, godd it thee foryive,
