And, [that] thou mayst perceive my fear of this,

Knowing that tender youth is soon suggested,

35 I nightly lodge her in an upper tower,

The key whereof myself have ever kept;

And thence she cannot be convey’d away.

Pro. Know, noble lord, they have devised a mean

How he her chamber-window will ascend,

40 And with a corded ladder fetch her down;

For which the youthful lover now is gone,

And this way comes he with it presently;
