Lo here, the wisë king Dan 1754 Solomon, I trow that he had wivës more than one; As would to God it lawful were to me To be refreshed half so oft as he! What gift 1755 of God had he for all his wivës? No man hath such, that in this world alive is. God wot, this noble king, as to my wit, 1756 The first night had many a merry fit With each of them, so well was him on live. 1757 Blessed be God that I have wedded five! Welcome the sixth whenever that he shall. For since I will not keep me chaste in all, When mine husband is from the world y-gone, Some Christian man shall weddë me anon. For then th’ apostle saith that I am free To wed, a’ God’s half, 1758 where it liketh me.
