And there he heard a fou fause knight

Tempting his gay ladye.

For he's ta'en out a gay goud ring,

Had cost him mony a poun',

"O grant me love for love, ladye,

"And this shall be thy own."

"I lo'e Brown Adam weel," she said;

"I trew sae does he me:

"I wadna gie Brown Adam's love

"For nae fause knight I see."
