Sin I fro Love escaped am so fat,
I never thenk to ben in his prison lene;
Sin I am free, I counte him not a bene.
He may answere and seye this and that;
I do no fors, I speke right as I mene.
Sin I fro Love [escaped am so fat,
I never thenk to ben in his prison lene].
Love hath my name ystrike out of his sclat,
And he is strike out of my bokes clene
For evermo; [ther] is non other mene.
Sin I fro Love [escaped am so fat,
I never thenk to ben in his prison lene;
Sin I am free, I counte him not a bene].
