So soon ye may not win myne harte, in trouth

The gyse of court will seen your stedfastness,

955

And as ye don, to have upon you rewth.

Your own desert, and lowly gentilness,

That will reward you joy for heviness;

And though ye waxen pale, and grene and dede,

Ye must it use a while, withouten drede,

960

And it accept, and grucchen in no wyse;
