The Marchaunt seide, geve me myn,

And thou schalt have chaffare thin,

Gif thou wilt understonde;

This seide the Prest, be my leute,

Alle thi synnes telle thou me,

For no thyng that thou ne wende.

The Marchaunt seide, wil I was yong,

And coude gon and spake with tung,

I was jolif and wilde;

Be myn own sister I lay,
