L e don damour sans plus auant
of it to make any refuce
E n faire aulcun refusement
If ye do fynde in any wise
S e uous trouués aulcunement
of me service, but in trouth
D e moy seruice quen loyaulté
I gyve you leve utterly
U ous habandonne entierement
to wyll at all at your wyll

toward me to use of great rigour
U ers moy user de grant rigeur
and me to banysshe from all good hap
E t me bannir de tout bon heur
without more of me to have pite.
S ans plus de moy auoir pité.
Sola salus seruire Deo, sunt cetera fraudes.
