44. Without Variance
Margery Hungerford With owte variance
Where y haue chosyn stedefast woll y be
Newyre to repente in wyll thowth ne dede
Yow to serue watt ȝe commaund′ me
neuer hyt withdrawe for no maner drede
Thus am y bownd by yowre godelyhede
Wych haþ me causyd and þat in euery wyse
Wyle I in lyfe endure to do yow my seruyse
Where y haue chosyn stedefast woll y be
Newyre to repente in wyll thowth ne dede
Yow to serue watt ȝe commaund′ me
neuer hyt withdrawe for no maner drede
Thus am y bownd by yowre godelyhede
Wych haþ me causyd and þat in euery wyse
Wyle I in lyfe endure to do yow my seruyse
Yowre desertt can none odere deserue
Wych ys in my remembrauns both day & nyȝt
Afore al creaturus I yow loue & serue
Wyle in thys world I haue strength and mytt
Wych ys in dewte of very dewe ryȝt
By promes made with feythful assuraunce
Euer yow to sarue with owtyn varyaunce
Wych ys in my remembrauns both day & nyȝt
Afore al creaturus I yow loue & serue
Wyle in thys world I haue strength and mytt
Wych ys in dewte of very dewe ryȝt
By promes made with feythful assuraunce
Euer yow to sarue with owtyn varyaunce
Ye are to blame to sett yowre hert so sore
Seþyn þat ye wote that hyt [ys] rekeurles
To encrece yowre payne more & more
Syn þat ye wote þat sche ys merceles
Seþyn þat ye wote that hyt [ys] rekeurles
To encrece yowre payne more & more
Syn þat ye wote þat sche ys merceles
