4291 She was except in his servise.
4292 She knewe eche wrenche and evy gise
4293 Of love, and every wile,
4294 It was harder hir to gile.
4295 Of Bealacoil she toke ay hede,
4296 That evere he lyveth in woo and drede.
4297 He kepte hym koy and eke pryve,
4298 Lest in hym she hadde see
4299 Ony foly countenaunce,
4300 ffor she knewe all the olde daunce.
4301 And aftir this, whanne Ielousie
4302 Hadde Bealacoil in his baillie,
4303 And shette hym up that was so fre,
4304 ffor seure of hym he wolde be,
4305 He trusteth sore in his castell;
4306 The stronge werk hym liketh well.
4307 He dradde not that no glotouns
4308 Shulde stele his roses or bothoms.
4309 The roses weren assured All,
4310 Defenced with the stronge wall.
4311 Now Ielousie full wel may be
4312 Of drede devoide, in liberte,
4313 Whether that he slepe or wake;
4314 ffor of his roses may noon be take.
