And after that passe shortly on my way,

Wyth diligent laboure on my journay.

Spyte of your enemyes, I shal me so spede,

That in short tyme ye may rewarde my mede.

I thanke you, quod she, with my hert entere;

But yet with me ye shall make covenaunt,

As I to you am ryght lefe and dere,

Unto no persone ye shall so advaunte

That I to love you am so attendaunte,

For any thynge your councell not bewraye,
