............................
But sithens you it assay to kill
By cruelty and doubleness,
That that was yours you seek to spill
Against all right and gentleness;
And sithens you will, even so I will.
And then, helas, when no redress
Can be, too late ye shall repent
And say yourself with words express,
'Helas, an heart of true intent
Slain have I by unfaithfulness!'
