thee that
the time
may come
when thou
and thy
friends
may wend
to my
help, and
may win
the names
of knight
and baron
and earl:
such hap
hath been
aforetime.
And now I
crave of
thee, when
thou
comest
back to
the Tofts,
to bid
Jack fall
upon other
lands than
Meadham
when he
rideth,
because of
the gift
and
wedding
that I
give thee
now. So,
lad, I
deem that
thou hast
chosen thy
part; but
let not
the tale
thereof go
out of thy
mouth, or
thou wilt
gab away
