That Marchaunt the Prest wel understod,
That the Prestes chaffare was to hym good,
Gif that it mythe awelde;
And seide, as i am a trewe man,
In alle the wittis that i can,
Covenaunt i wele the helden.
Gif thou wilt me with herte and thouth (thought),
Give me alle thi gode dedes that thou hast wrouth,
As covenaunt was before;
Loke, he seide, to the Prest anon,
