Sche sih him large of his despence,

And amorous and glad of chiere,

So that hir liketh wel to hiere 4840

The goodly wordes whiche he seide;

And therupon of love he preide,

Of love was al that he mente,

To love and for sche scholde assente,

He yaf hire yiftes evere among.

Bot for men sein that mede is strong,
