Ne may þe venym voyde ne expelle
The pypes of his lounges gan to swelle
Line 2752
And euery lacerte in his brest adoun
Is schent with venym and corrupcioun
Him gayneþ noþer for to get his lyf
Vomyt vp-ward ne dounward laxatif /
Line 2756
Al is to-broken þilke regioun
Nature haþ now no dominacioun
And certeynly wher nature wil not wirche
Far wel phisik go bere þe man to chirche
Line 2760
This al and som þat arcyte moste dye
For which he sendeþ after Emelye
And Palomon þat was his cosyn deere
Thanne seyd he þus as ȝe schul after heere
Line 2764
Naught may þe woful spirit/ in myn herte
Declare a poynt of my sorwes smerte
To ȝou my lady þat I loue most
But I byquethe þe seruice of my gost
Line 2768
To ȝou abouen euery creature
Syn þat my lyf may no lenger dure
Allas þe woo allas þe peynes stronge
That I for ȝou haue suffred and so longe
Line 2772
Allas þe deþ allas myn Emelye
Allas departyng of our companye
Allas myn hertes queen allas my wyf
Myn hertes lady ender of my lyf
Line 2776

Now wiþ his loue now in his colde graue
Allone wiþouten eny companye [folio 37b]
Far wel my swete far wel myn Emelye
Line 2780
And softe take me in ȝour armes tweye
For loue of god and herkneþ what I seye

Line 2784
For loue of ȝow and eek for Ielousie /
And Iupiter so wis my sowle gye
