She maketh bountee alway soverayne.
This is to mene, bountee goth afore,
Lad by prudence, and hath the soveraintee;
220
And beautee folweth, ruled by her lore,
That she †n'offendë her in no degree;
So that, in one, this goodly fresshe free
Surmounting al, withouten any were,
Is good and fair, in oon persone y-fere.
