Diversë men diversë thingës said; And arguments they casten up and down; Many a subtle reason forth they laid; They speak of magic, and abusión; 1468 But finally, as in conclusión, They cannot see in that none ávantage, Nor in no other way, save marriáge.

Then saw they therein such difficulty By way of reason, for to speak all plain, Because that there was such diversity Between their bothë lawës, that they sayn, They trowë 1469 that no Christian prince would fain 1470 Wedden his child under our lawë sweet, That us was given by Mahound 1471 our prophéte.
