She thanked him, and with full great humbléss She saidë; “Sir, since of your gentleness Ye proffer me to have so large a reign, Ne wouldë God never betwixt us twain, As in my guilt, were either war or strife: 3224 Sir, I will be your humble truë wife, Have here my troth, till that my heartë brest.” 3225 Thus be they both in quiet and in rest.
