She cryed, 'O turne again, for routhe and sinne! 2200
Thy barge hath nat al his meiny inne!'
Her kerchef on a pole up stikked she,

And doun she fil a-swown upon a stoon;
And up she rist, and kiste, in al her care,
The steppes of his feet, ther he hath fare,
And to her bedde right thus she speketh tho:— 2210
'Thou bed,' quod she, 'that hast receyved two,
Thou shalt answere of two, and nat of oon!
