And but I be to morwe as fair to seene
As eny lady emperice or queene /
þat is bitwen þe est and eek þe weste /
Do wiþ my lijf and deþ right as ȝou leste
Line 1248
Cast vp þe curteyne loke how it is / [bottom of leaf 106]
And whanne þat þe knight sawh al þis [folio 115b]
That sche so fair was and so ȝong þerto
ffor ioye he hente hir in his armes tuo
Line 1252
his herte baþed in a baþ of blisse
A þousand tyme a rowe he gan hire kisse
And sche obeyed him in euery þing
That mighte doon him pleisance or likyng
Line 1256
And þus þey lyued vnto here lyues ende
In perfyt ioye and ihesu crist vs sende
housbondes meke ȝonge and freissche abedde
And grace to ouerlede hem þat we wedde
Line 1260
And eek I pray to Ihesu schorte here lyues
That wol not be gouerned by here wyues
And olde and angry nyggardes of dispence
Line 1263
God send hem sone a verray pestilence
