English text
I love, loved, and loved would I be
In steadfast faith and truth with assurance;
Then bounden were I such one faithfully
To love, though I do fear to trace that dance,
Lest that misadventure might fall by chance;
Yet will I my trust to fortune apply;
How that ever it will hap I wot ne’er I.
