Yet if so be you are indeed my friend, Then in the end, There is one road, a road I've never gone, And down that road you shall not pass alone. And there's one night you'll find me by your side. The night that they shall tell me you have died.
Seite 3 - Being with thy dear blood clean washed from sin, May live for ever in felicity ; And that thy love we weighing worthily May likewise love thee for the same again ; And for thy sake, that all like dear didst buy, With love may one another entertain.

Seite 265 - Ah, traitor untrue, said King Arthur, now hast .thou betrayed me twice. Who would have weened that, thou that hast been to me so lief and dear? and thou art named a noble knight, and would betray me for the richness of the sword.
