Of helpe I wolde yow pray.

With me thei lefte alle their thyng,

That I am sicur of theire comyng,

And that me rewes sore.

I have fayre chamburs thre;

But non of them may be with me

While that thei be thore.

Into my cart-hows thei me dryfe;

Out at the dur thei put my wyfe,

For she is olde gray-hare.”
