" Ffor sothe, Thomas, als I the telle, Thou hase bene here thre yere and more; ao Bot langere here thu may noghte dwelle; The skylle I sail the telle wherefore.
" To morne, of helle the foulle fende Amange this folke will feche his fee; And thu arte mekill man and hende, m
I trowe full wele he wolde chese the.
" Ffor all the gold that euer may bee, Ffro hethyn unto the worldis ende, Thbu bese neuer betrayede for mee ; Therefore with me I rede thou wende." 230
Scho broghte hym agayne to Eldone tree,' Vndir nethe that grenewode spraye; In Huntlee bannkes es mery to bee, Whare fowles synges bothe nyght and daye. 211, buse agayne. |
