LII.
Bellisa faire, as I am bound I byde:
deathe me devyde er I from yow refraine;
no proude disdayne of yours nor spytful pryde,
quhilk love hathe tyde, dissunder sal in tuayne.
suppose I payne in this my constant vayne,
which is bot vayne, though it be constant kythd,
yet I assyde layes all that ought restrayne
me to remayne so daft of love denyed.
ȝow sene and spyde my faithe lyk to your hyde,
and hathe it tryed trewe gold by rigours stayne:
it brings bot stayne to yow to have defyed
the god, my guyde, who hathe afore yow tayne,
and may agayne yow stay fra wandring wyde,
and say with me, “as I am bound I byde.”
