And seven at midnight, seven at morow-day;

And drink a cawdell erly for thyn ese.

Do this, and kepe thyn hede from all disese,

And win the garland here of lovers all,

That ever come in court, or ever shall.

Ful few, think I, this statut hold and kepe;

But truly, this my reson giveth me fele,

That som lovers shuld rather fall aslepe,
