Johan. What, must I chafe the wax all day,

And stond here, rostyng by the fyre? 535

Syr J. Thou must do somwhat at thy wyves desyre!

I know a man whych weddyd had a wyfe,

As fayre a woman as ever bare lyfe,

And within a senyght after, ryght sone

He went beyond se, and left her alone, 540

And taryed there about a vii yere;

And as he cam homeward he had a hevy chere,

For it was told hym that she was in heven.
