2155 Now is good to here, in fay,
2156 If ony be that can it say,
2157 And poynte it as the resoun is

2164 Maad of newe and lusty thyng;
2165 ffor who so wole the eendyng here,
2166 The crafte of love he shall mowe lere,
2167 If that ye wole so long Abide,

2169 And undo the signifiaunce
2170 Of this dreme into Romance.

2172 Without coverture shall be kidde,
2173 Whanne I undon have this dremyng,
2174 Wherynne no word is of lesyng.
2175 'Vilanye, atte the bigynnyng,
2176 I wole,' say love, 'over all thyng,
2177 Thou leve, if thou wolt be
2178 ffals, and trespasse ageyns me.
