Bird unto bird, and woman unto man;

This is the lyfe of joye that we ben in,

Resembling lyfe of hevenly paradyse;

Love is exyler ay of vice and sin;

Love maketh hertes lusty to devyse;

600

Honour and grace have thay, in every wyse,

That been to loves law obedient;

Love makith folk benigne and diligent;
