Thei scholden have ansuere ayein. 880

Of this conseil thei weren glad,

P. iii. 305

And writen as the king hem bad,

And every man his oghne bok

Into the kinges hond betok,

And he it to his dowhter sende,

And preide hir forto make an ende

And wryte ayein hire oghne hond,

Riht as sche in hire herte fond.
