| "Squier, com neer, if it youre wille be, | |
| And sey somwhat of love, for certes ye | |
| Konnen theron as muche as any man." | |
| "Nay, sire," quod he, "but I wol seye as I kan | |
| 5 | With hertly wyl, for I wol nat rebelle |
| Agayn youre lust; a tale wol I telle. | |
| Have me excused if I speke amys; | |
| My wyl is good, and lo, my tale is this." |
