Thow al the world the contrarye haddyn swore
He schal not thens been drawe ne bore
Or ȝif þou wit bidde hym thenys goon
Trille this pyn & he wele vanyche a-noon
Line 328
Out of the syȝte of euery maneere wyȝt
And come a-geyn be it day or nyght
Whan that þou lystist to clepyn hym a-geyn
In swich a gyse as I schal to ȝow seyn
Line 332
Bi-twixe ȝow & hym & that ful sone
Ride whan þou lyste there is no moore to doone
Enformede whan that kyng was of that knyght
And hath conseyuid in his wit a ryȝt
Line 336
The manere & the forme of al this thyng
Thus glad & blythe this nobele kyng
Repeyrith to his reuel as by-foryn
The brydyl is in to the tour I-boryn
Line 340
And kept a-mong hyse [[ew corrected]] Iewelys leue & deere
The hors vanyschit I not in what maneere
Out of hire syȝte ȝe gete no more of me
But thus I lete in lust & iolyte
Line 344
This Cambiscan hese lordis festenynge
Tyl wol nygh þe day be-gan to sprynge

THe noryce of digestyoun the sleep
Gan on hem wynke & bad hem take kep
Line 348
That muche drynk & labour wolde han reste
And with a galpynge mouth hem alle keste [folio 281b]
And seyde it was tyme to lye a-doun
ffor blood was in his domynacioun
Line 352
Cherisshet blod naturys frend quod he
They thankyn hym galpynge bi too by thre
And euery wyght gan drawyn hym to his reste
As slep hem hadde they take it for the beste
Line 356
