1792He preith the king to come and se
1793His castell bothe and his cite,
1794And thus thei gon forth alle in fiere,
1795This king, this lord, this maiden diere.
1796This lord tho made hem riche feste
1797With every thing which was honeste,
1798To plese with this worthi king,
1799Ther lacketh him no maner thing:
1800Bot yit for al his noble array
1801Wifles he was into that day,
1802As he that yit was of yong Age;
1803So fell ther into his corage
1804The lusti wo, the glade peine
1805Of love, which noman restreigne
1806Yit nevere myhte as nou tofore.
1807This lord thenkth al his world forlore,
1808Bot if the king wol don him grace;

1810Him thoghte his herte wol tobreke,
1811Til he mai to this maide speke
1812And to hir fader ek also
1813For mariage: and it fell so,
1814That al was do riht as he thoghte,
1815His pourpos to an ende he broghte,
1816Sche weddeth him as for hire lord;
1817Thus be thei alle of on acord.
