La Bell Pucell to a fayre chambre bryght,

Dyde me than brynge for to rest all nyght.

And she toke her leve, I kyst her lovely.

I wente to bedde, but I coude not slepe,

For I thought so moche upon her inwardly,

Her moost swete lokes in to my herte dyde crepe,

Percynge it through with a wounde so depe;

For Nature thought every houre a daye

Tyll to my lady I sholde my dette well paye.
