by Unknown

Betwene a knyght and me,

Of a lytell money that I hym lent,

Under the grene wode tree ;

And yf thou hast that sylver ibroughte,

I praye the let me se,

And I shall helpe the eftsones,

Yf thou have nede of [166] me.

The monke swore a full grete othe,

With a sory chere,

Of the borowehode thou spekest to me,
