HAVELOK GIVES UBBE A GOLD RING.

[Fol. 212, col. 1.]

“With swilk als ich byen shal:

Þer-of bi-seche you nou leue;

Havelok asks Ubbe to give him leave to buy and sell there.

Wile ich speke with non oþer reue,

But with þe, þat iustise are,

Þat y mithe seken[70] mi ware

In gode borwes up and doun,

And faren ich wile fro tun to tun.”
