[Lo lemman swete, now may þou se]

Lo lemman swete, now may þou se
þat I haue lost my lyf for þe:
What myght I do þe mare?
For-þi I pray þe speciali
þat þou forsake ill company,
þat woundes me so sare,
And take myne armes pryuely,
& do þam in þi tresory,
In what stede sa þou dwelles.
And swete lemman, forget þow noght
þat I þi lufe sa dere haue boght,
And I aske þe noght elles.
