But certes, Love, I sey not in such wise
That for t'escape out of youre las I mente,
For I so longe have ben in your servise
That for to lete of wil I never assente;
No fors thogh Jelosye me turmente.
Sufficeth me to sen hym when I may,
And therfore certes, to myn endyng day
To love hym best ne shal I never repente.

And certis, Love, when I me wel avise
On any estat that man may represente,
Then have ye made me thurgh your fraunchise
Chese the best that ever on erthe wente.
Now love wel, herte, and lok thou never stente,
And let the jelous putte it in assay
That for no peyne wol I not sey nay;
To love him best ne shal I never repente.

Herte, to the hit oughte ynogh suffise
That Love so high a grace to the sente
To chese the worthieste in alle wise
And most agreable unto myn entente.
Seche no ferther, neythir wey ne wente,

Thus wol I ende this compleynt or this lay;
To love hym best ne shal I never repente.
