For that world schal me nevere asterte Gucci Sunset, .
That I ne schal your wordes holde louis vuitton mage, .
Of Pacience as ye me tolde, .
Als ferforth as myn herte thenketh; .
And of my wraththe it me forthenketh 630 .
Bot, fader, if ye forth withal .
Som good ensample in special .
Me wolden telle of som Cronique, .
It scholde wel myn herte like .
Of pacience forto hiere, .
So that I mihte in mi matiere .
The more unto my love obeie .
And puten mi desese aweie .
Mi Sone, a man to beie him pes .
Behoveth soffre as Socrates 640 .
Ensample lefte, which is write: .
And for thou schalt the sothe wite, .
Of this ensample what I mene, .
Althogh it be now litel sene .
Among the men thilke evidence, .
Yit he was upon pacience .
So sett, that he himself assaie .
In thing which mihte him most mispaie .

And axeth him what devel he thoghte, .
And bar on hond that him ne roghte .

And that sche broghte in fro the welle, .
The waterpot sche hente alofte .
And bad him x speke, and he al softe .

And sche was wroth that he so ferde, .
And axeth him if he be ded; .
And al the water on his hed .
