Nor ever shall I wed but her

That’s done and dree’d so much for me.”

Then out and spak the forenoon bride,

“My lord, your love it changeth soon;

This morning I was made your bride,

And another chose ere it be noon.”

“O hold thy tongue, thou forenoon bride,

My true love, thou canst never be;

And whan ye return to your own countrie,

A double dower I’ll send with thee.”
