so faire as ȝe þer be noo mo,
as brygth as bere brovne.

I love ȝow, verraly, at my too, [ 5]
nonne so moch yn al this stovnne;
I am right glad when ȝe wil goo,
and sory when ȝe wil come.
And, whan ȝe be ovth fare,
I pray for yew, sertayn, [ 10]
þat neuer man, horsse, ne mare,
brynge yow to town a-geyn.
To prayse youre bewte I ne dare,
for drede that men wille seyn.
Fare-welle! no more for you I care; [ 15]
but pray yow of my songe have no desdeyn.
Note: 6, the tenor reads toune.
