Ye pressyd pertely to pluk a crow:

Ye lost your holde,[563] onbende your bow,

Ye wan nothyng there but a mow; 50

Ye wan nothyng there but a skorne;

Sche wolde nat of yt thow had sworne.

To daly with yow she had no lust.

Sche seyd your brethe stanke lyke a broke;

With, Gup, Syr Gy, ye gate a moke.

Sche sware with hyr ye xulde nat dele,
