[188] Quhat loue hyme chargit he mot tak one honde,

Deith, or defam̅, or ony maner wo;

And at this tyme with me It ſtant rycht ſo,

for I dare not oppose Love’s command.

As I that dar makine no demande

[192] To quhat I wot It lykith loue commande.

Tueching his chargis, as with al deſtitut,

Within my mynd ſchortly I conclud

For to fulfyll, for ned I mot do ſo.
