Natura turturis.
IN boke is ðe turtres lif
writen o rime, wu lagelike

Line 696
gef ge ones make haueð,
fro him ne wile ge siðen:
muneð wimmen hire lif,
ic it wile gu reden;
Line 700
bi hire make ge sit o nigt,
o dei ge goð and flegeð.
wo so seit he sundren ovt,
i seie ðat he legeð.
Line 704
Oc if hire make were ded,
and ge widue wore,
ðanne flegeð ge one and fareð,
non oðer wile ge more;
Line 708
buten óne goð and one sit,
and hire olde luue abit,
In herte haueð him nigt and dai,
so he were oliue ai.
Line 712
