That ye can se non other weie,

Bot that ye moste nedes deie,

I wolde preie of you a thing:[510]

Let me go with you to the king,

And ye schull make him understonde

How ye, my wittes forto fonde,

Have leid your ansuere upon me;

And telleth him, in such degre 3200

Upon my word ye wole abide[511]

To lif or deth, what so betide.
