Till that my lady take me to her cure,

Which I love best of erthely crëature.

But that I lyke, that may I not com by;

Of that I playn, that have I habondaunce;

990

Sorrow and thought, thay sit me wounder ny;

Me is withhold that might be my plesaunce:

Yet turne again, my worldly suffisaunce!

O lady bright! and save your feithfull true,

And, er I die, yet on[e]s upon me rewe.'
