Forthi to speken overmore

Of love, which thee mai availe,

Tak love where it mai noght faile:[1686]

For as of this which thou art inne,

Be that thou seist it is a Sinne,

And Sinne mai no pris deserve,

Withoute pris and who schal serve, 2090

I not what profit myhte availe.

Thus folweth it, if thou travaile,

Wher thou no profit hast ne pris,
