/ And for to lede the moore in blisse hir lyves, / Of his free wyl he swoor hire as a knight / That nevere in al his lyf he, day ne nyght, / Ne sholde upon hym take no maistrie / Agayn hir wyl,ne
kithe hire jalousie, / But hire obeye, and folwe hir wyl in al, / As any lovere to his lady shal, / Save that the name of soveraynetee, / That wolde he have for shame of his degree.
