2348 Whether so it be thou wake or wynke;

2356 That evere, withoute repentaunce,
2357 Thou sette thy thought in thy lovyng,
2358 To laste withoute repentyng;
2359 And thenke upon thi myrthis swete,
2360 That shall folowe aftir whan ye mete.
2361 'And for thou trewe to love shalt be,
2362 I wole, and comaunde thee,
2363 That in oo place thou sette, all hoole,
2364 Thyn herte, withoute halfen doole,
2365 ffor trecherie, and sikernesse;
2366 ffor I lovede nevere doublenesse.
2367 To many his herte that wole departe,
2368 Everiche shal have but litel parte.
2369 But of hym drede I me right nought,
2370 That in oo place settith his thought.
