"Now, dere, at þis de-partyng, do me þis ese,
Gif me sumquat of þy gifte, þi gloue if1 hit were,
Þat I may mynne on þe mon, my mournyng to lassen."

Þe leuest þing for þy luf, þat I in londe welde,
For ȝe haf deserued, forsoþe, sellyly ofte
More rewarde bi resoun, þen I reche myȝt,
Bot to dele yow for drurye, þat dawed bot neked;
Hit is not your honour to haf at þis tyme
