I will you bring ; and with a ring,

By way of marriage I will you take, and lady make,

As shortly as I can : Thus have you won an Earles son,

And not a banished man.

Here may ye see that 'women be

In love meek, kind, and stable ; Let never man reprove them than,

Or call them variable ; But rather pray God that tue may

To them be comfortable ; Which sometime proveth such as He loveth,

If they be charitable. For sith men would that 'women should

Be meek to them each one ; Much more ought they to God obey,

And serve but Htm alone.

��26. As ye came from the Holy Land

idth Cent.

AS ye came from the holy land Of Walsinghame, Met you not with my true love By the way as you came ?

How should I know your true love,

That have met many a one As I came from the holy land,

That have come, that have gone?
