Reading edition
Concupiscencia carnis · colled me aboute the nekke, And seyde, "Thou art yonge and yepe · and hast yeres yn Forto lyve longe · and ladyes to lovye. And in this myroure thow myghte se · myrthes ful manye That leden the wil to lykynge · al thi lyf-tyme." The secounde seide the same · "I shal suwe thi wille; Til thow be a lorde and have londe." (B. xi. 16.)
