For covetyse I wyl with hem wake,

And onto my maystyr I xal hem bryng.

Heyl prynsesse and prestys that ben present,

New tydynges to ȝow I come to telle,

ȝyf ȝe wole folwe myn intent,

My mayster, Jhesu, I wole ȝow selle,

Hese intent and purpose for to felle;

ffor I wole no lenger folwyn his lawe;—

Late sen what mony that I xal telle,

And late Jhesu my maystyr ben hangyn and drawe.
