XXI. ANE DREAME.
I dreamit ane dreame, o that my dreame wer trew!Me thocht my maistris to my chalmer came,
And with hir harmeles handis the cowrteingis drew,
And sueitlie callit on me be my name:
“Art ȝe on sleip,” quod sche, “o fy for schame!
haue ȝe nocht tauld that luifaris takis no rest?”
Me thocht I ansuerit, “trew it is, my dame,
I sleip nocht, so ȝour luif dois me molest.”
With that me thocht hir nicht-gowne of sche cuist,
Liftit þe claiss and lichtit in my armis;
Hir Rosie lippis me thocht on me sche thirst,
And said, “may this nocht stanche ȝow of ȝour harmes!”
“Mercy, madame,” me thocht I menit to say,
Bot quhen I walkennit, alace, sche was away.
