You and I and Amyas,
Amyas and you and I,
To the green wood must we go, Alas!
You and I, my life and Amyas.
The knight knocked at the castle gate;
The lady marvelled who was thereat.
To call the porter he would not blin;
The lady said he could not come in.
The portress was a lady bright;
Strangeness that lady hight.
She asked him what was his name;
He said ‘Desire, your man, madame.’
She said ‘Desire what do you here’;
He said ‘Madame, as your prisoner.’
He was counselled to brief a bill;
And show the lady his own will.
Kindness said she would it bear;
And Pity said she would be there.
Thus how they did we cannot say –
We left them there and went our way.
